Why do I have to pay for new features? Isn't the Trinity Desktop Environment free software?
As most Free Open Source Software projects are built and maintained in software developer(s) free time, only those features that are of interest to the developer(s) are generally implemented when the developer(s) are left to themselves. You do not need pay for a new feature. If you would like, you may try to implement it yourself by modifying the source code that comprises the Trinity Desktop Environment.

If you are unable to implement the feature yourself for any reason, and the Trinity development team is not actively working on the feature, you have an alternative. By offering monetary support to a sponsoring developer, you allow that developer to allocate more time to work on the Trinity project, specifically on the feature that you would like to see implemented.

As hiring a software engineer can be expensive, the Trinity project has decided to allow many individuals to contribute small amounts towards the feature(s) they would like to see implemented. At first, no payment is required, only a pledge that you would pay a certain amount if others will also contribute. When enough pledges are received for a certain feature, we ask that all interested individuals pay their pledge amounts to a third party. At this point, the sponsoring developer(s) begin working on the feature, and when the feature is complete to the users' satisfaction the payment is released by the third party. If for any reason the sponsoring developer(s) are unable to complete the feature, all contributors will be reimbursed for their original payment amounts.

How can I contribute?
Please contact Timothy Pearson at kb9vqf@pearsoncomputing.net with the name of the feature you wish to sponsor, your name, and the amount you are willing to contribute.
