Other projects hosted by the Open Source Collective include Lucee, WebPack, PHP Foundation, Vue, LinuxServer, ESLint, Bower, Svelte, and the list literally goes on and on.</p><p>So what does this mean for CFWheels. Well, it allows us to finally be able to accept donations from our community. Many of you have offered your donations to us in the past but we really had no good way to do accept them legally. Plus we felt strongly that as an open source project we needed to adopt an open and transparent accounting practices. As a member of the collective, you’ll be able to donate and see every dollar we raise and what it is spent on. Creating a sustainable ecosystem is important for the long term viability of the CFWheels project.

These funds will allow us to offer bounties for small issues or bugs, commission larger works, and pay for marketing, logo, or branding services.</p>
