Open Time

Healthy boundaries for maintainers and project owners might be:

• I’m doing this project for me.
• I don’t implement features or incorporate changes I don’t want.
• I reject changes that I think are not a good fit for the project.
• Donations are not contractual.
• I only help when I can or want to.
• There’s no hurry for me to get around to issues or PRs.
• Users can help each other; I don’t have to do it all.
• I only give help privately if I’m being paid or sponsored.
• I don’t accept donations or sponsorships.
  • To avoid feeling pressure (it’s normal to feel pressure even if it’s not warranted)
  • Or any other reason! (or no reason at all; it’s okay)

Ça s’applique bien à ce que j’en pense de mon côté, en particulier pour Dotclear mais pas que.
