Sponsoring
==========
Bounties
--------
In the past,
• some users have paid for new features
• some developers have added new features for hire
The LilyPond project does not organize such efforts; we neither
endorse nor discourage such agreements. Any contracts between private
individuals is the business of those individuals, not ours.
Guidelines
----------
Any user wanting to offer money in exchange for work should bear in mind
the following points:
• LilyPond developers may advertise their services on the lilypond
email lists from time to time.
• Any agreements between private individuals should include the
normal precautions when conducting business: who pays, how much do
they pay, with what method of payment, and upon what set of
conditions. We suggest that any ambiguity or uncertainty in these
questions should be resolved before any work begins.
Interested developers
---------------------
Here is a list of people who have expressed an interest in bounties.
Note that the amount of work done by individuals varies quite a bit
throughout the years. We do not guarantee that this list is up-to-date,
nor do we guarantee that the people listed here have any ability. The
only criteria is "XYZ asked to be listed on this page".
Looking at the git history is a good way to determine who the most
active and experienced developers are. Statistics up to version 2.19.3:
overall history past year past three months

Donations are required to let me continue my current fulltime work
on LilyPond. I focus on user and programmer interface design,
coherence, implementation, simplification, documentation, and
debugging.
