Big topic to discuss with community, team and association board: What are the requirements that we pay a third party for a service with donation/crowdfunding/misc money (so far we have not paid anyone this way, none from the team, none from a third party - a proposal for laying the ground rules to enable this in the future): The service must be required urgently There must be no alternative Reasonable effort to find someone do it pro-bono must have been made crowfunding money should not be used for anything not directly related to the AXIOM Beta development/production, donations should only be used as declared The association board needs consent before spending any money on services

Later when we sell products (company not association) we will have more money to fund further development and get help from professionals and pay our contributors this should become easier.
