| 8 SPONSOR VIM DEVELOPMENT *sponsor* | |
| 9 | |
| 799 | 10 Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort. To show |
| 11 your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue | |
| 12 working on Vim please send a donation. | |
| 7 | 13 |
| 799 | 14 Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children |
| 15 in Uganda. See |uganda|. But at the same time donations increase Bram's | |
| 818 | 16 motivation to keep working on Vim! |
| 7 | 17 |
| 18 For the most recent information about sponsoring look on the Vim web site: | |
| 19 | |
| 20 http://www.vim.org/sponsor/ | |
| 21 | |
| 22 More explanations can be found in the |sponsor-faq|. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 | |
| 25 REGISTERED VIM USER *register* | |
| 26 | |
| 27 You can become a registered Vim user by sending at least 10 euro. This works | |
| 28 similar to sponsoring Vim, see |sponsor| above. Registration was made | |
| 29 possible for the situation where your boss or bookkeeper may be willing to | |
| 30 register software, but does not like the terms "sponsoring" and "donation". | |
| 31 | |
| 32 More explanations can be found in the |register-faq|. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 | |
| 35 VOTE FOR FEATURES *vote-for-features* | |
| 36 | |
| 37 To give registered Vim users and sponsors an advantage over lurkers they can | |
| 38 vote for the items Bram should work on. How does this voting work? | |
| 39 | |
| 40 1. You send at least 10 euro. See below for ways to transfer money | |
| 41 |send-money|. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 2. You will be e-mailed a registration key. Enter this key on your account | |
| 44 page on the Vim website. You can easily create an account if you don't | |
| 45 have one yet. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 3. You can enter your votes on the voting page. There is a link to that page | |
| 48 on your account page after entering a registration key. Your votes will | |
| 49 be counted for two years. | |
| 50 | |
| 51 4. The voting results appear on the results page, which is visible for | |
| 52 everybody: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php | |
| 53 | |
| 1620 | 54 Additionally, once you have sent 100 euro or more in total, your name appears |
| 7 | 55 in the "Vim hall of honour": http://www.vim.org/sponsor/hall_of_honour.php |
| 56 But only if you enable this on your account page. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 | |
| 59 HOW TO SEND MONEY *send-money* | |
| 60 | |
| 799 | 61 Credit card Through PayPal, see the PayPal site for information: |

| 7 | 63 The e-mail address for sending sponsorship money is: |

| 65 The e-mail address for Vim registration is: | |
| 66 register@vim.org | |
| 67 Using Euro is preferred, other currencies are also accepted. | |
| 68 In Euro countries a bank transfer is preferred, this has lower | |
| 69 costs. | |
| 70 | |
| 799 | 71 Other methods See |iccf-donations|. |
| 7 | 72 Include "Vim sponsor" or "Vim registration" in the comment of |
| 73 your money transfer. Send me an e-mail that mentions the | |
| 74 amount you transferred if you want to vote for features and | |
| 75 show others you are a registered Vim user or sponsor. | |
| 76 | |
| 1620 | 77 Cash Small amounts can be sent with ordinary mail. Put something |
| 9 | 78 around the money, so that it's not noticeable from the |
| 79 outside. Mention your e-mail address if you want to vote for | |
| 80 features and show others you are a registered Vim user or | |
| 81 sponsor. | |

| 91 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS *sponsor-faq* *register-faq* | |
| 92 | |
| 93 Why should I give money? | |
| 94 | |
| 799 | 95 If you do not show your appreciation for Vim then Bram will be less motivated |
| 818 | 96 to fix bugs and add new features. He will do something else instead. |
| 7 | 97 |
| 98 | |
| 99 How much money should I send? | |
| 100 | |
| 799 | 101 That is up to you. The more you give, the more children will be helped. |
| 102 An indication for individuals that use Vim at home: 10 Euro per year. For | |
| 7 | 103 professional use: 30 Euro per year per person. Send at least 10 euro to be |
| 104 able to vote for features. | |
| 105 | |
| 106 | |
| 107 What do I get in return? | |
| 108 | |
| 109 Each registered Vim user and sponsor who donates at least 10 euro will be able | |
| 110 to vote for new features. These votes will give priority to the work on Vim. | |
| 111 The votes are valid for two years. The more money you send the more your | |
| 112 votes count |votes-counted|. | |
| 113 | |
| 114 If you send 100 Euro or more in total you will be mentioned on the "Vim hall | |
| 115 of honour" page on the Vim web site. But only if you enable this on your | |
| 116 account page. You can also select whether the amount will be visible. | |
| 117 | |
| 118 | |
| 119 How do I become a Vim sponsor or registered Vim user? | |
| 120 | |
| 121 Send money, as explained above |send-money| and include your e-mail address. | |
| 122 When the money has been received you will receive a unique registration key. | |
| 123 This key can be used on the Vim website to activate voting on your Vim | |
| 124 account. You will then get an extra page where you can vote for features and | |
| 125 choose whether others will be able to see that you donated. There is a link | |
| 126 to this page on your "My Account" page. | |
| 127 | |
| 128 | |
| 129 What is the difference between sponsoring and registering? | |
| 130 | |
| 131 It has a different name. Use the term "registration" if your boss doesn't | |
| 132 like "sponsoring" or "donation". The benefits are the same. | |
| 133 | |
| 134 | |
| 135 How can I send money? | |
| 136 | |
| 137 See |send-money|. Check the web site for the most recent information: | |
| 138 http://www.vim.org/sponsor/ | |
| 139 | |
| 140 | |
| 141 Why don't you use the SourceForge donation system? | |
| 142 | |
| 143 SourceForge takes 5% of the donations for themselves. If you want to support | |
| 144 SourceForge you can send money to them directly. | |
| 145 | |
| 146 | |
| 147 I cannot afford to send money, may I still use Vim? | |
| 148 | |
| 149 Yes. | |
| 150 | |
| 151 | |
| 152 I did not register Vim, can I use all available features? | |
| 153 | |
| 154 Yes. | |
| 155 | |
| 156 | |
| 157 I noticed a bug, do I need to register before I can report it? | |
| 158 | |
| 159 No, suggestions for improving Vim can always be given. For improvements use | |
| 160 the developer |maillist|, for reporting bugs see |bugs|. | |
| 161 | |
| 162 | |
| 163 How are my votes counted? *votes-counted* | |
| 164 | |
| 165 You may vote when you send 10 euro or more. You can enter up to ten votes. | |
| 166 You can select the same item several times to give it more points. You can | |
| 167 also enter three counter votes, these count as negative points. | |
| 168 | |
| 169 When you send 30 euro or more the points are doubled. Above 100 euro they | |
| 170 count four times, above 300 euro they count six times, above 1000 euro ten | |
| 171 times. | |
| 172 | |
| 173 | |
| 174 Can I change my votes? | |
| 175 | |
| 176 You can change your votes any time you like, up to two years after you | |
| 177 sent money. The points will be counted right away. | |
| 178 | |
| 179 | |
| 818 | 180 Can I add an item to vote on? |
| 181 | |
| 182 Not directly. You can suggest items to vote on to Bram. He will consider | |
| 183 fitting your item into the list. | |
| 184 | |
| 185 | |
| 7 | 186 How about Charityware? |
| 187 | |
| 799 | 188 Currently the Vim donations go to |uganda| anyway. Thus it doesn't matter if |
| 189 you sponsor Vim or ICCF. Except that Vim sponsoring will allow you to vote | |
| 190 for features. | |
| 7 | 191 |
| 192 | |
| 193 I donated $$$, now please add feature XYZ! | |
| 194 | |
| 195 There is no direct relation between your donation and the work Bram does. | |
| 799 | 196 Otherwise you would be paying for work and we would have to pay tax over the |
| 7 | 197 donation. If you want to hire Bram for specific work, contact him directly, |
| 198 don't use the donation system. | |
| 199 | |
| 200 | |
| 799 | 201 Are the donations tax deductible? |
| 7 | 202 |
| 799 | 203 That depends on your country. The donations to help the children in |Uganda| |
| 204 are tax deductible in Holland, Germany, Canada and in the USA. See the ICCF | |
| 839 | 205 website http://iccf-holland.org/donate.html. You must send an e-mail to Bram |
| 206 to let him know that the donation is done because of the use of Vim. | |
| 7 | 207 |
| 208 | |
| 209 Can you send me a bill? | |
| 210 | |
| 856 | 211 No, because there is no relation between the money you send and the work that |
| 818 | 212 is done. But a receipt is possible. |
