Can you help #Luanti out with a couple €€ per month?
Monthly donations make the project more sustainable and help us budget and pay for ongoing expenses like infrastructure.
We'd love to have paid developers working on Luanti one day, recurring donations help with that too!

Let the developers start responding to Merge Requests created by the community first. Right now, they only do what interests them and ignore issues raised by the community. I won't be funding someone's hobby. If developers want to get paid, they should do the work expected of them. -

The benefit of a paid developer is that it unlocks time - rather than being done as a hobby, it's their job. It also allows us to prioritize areas which volunteer developers either do not have time or do not want to work on. Reviewing pull requests would be part of the responsibilities

We also do respond to pull requests and resolve community issues, just look at recent release posts! It's just not as fast as we'd like due to availability

Personally, I don't see it as funding anyone's hobby. Just paying back the fun I had.
Yes it might have been a hobby, but some people *have* invested their time into this project without ever expecting to get paid for it.
In a way *they* are the ones doing the funding, only it was mostly paid in time. The only way I know to give them back this time to re-invest, is to send some money their way.
