{i} Current status: looking for funding through July 2012! (~33% of goal pledged)

Since July 2010, funding from Mercurial supporters has allowed me to focus full-time on Mercurial development and project leadership. This has been essential in allowing me to work on new feature development, to coordinate and support other contributors, improve docs and the wiki, fix countless bugs, plan coding sprints, and generally push Mercurial forward. I feel this has been a great success - the recently released Mercurial 1.9 has been one of our most active development cycles yet. See my blog for details.

Now I need your help to continue this role!

If your company is a serious user of Mercurial or sells Mercurial-based products or services, please consider accelerating Mercurial's development by sponsoring me. I'll add your company to the sponsor page on the Mercurial website. Donations will be handled and administered by our parent non-profit, the Software Freedom Conservancy. This year's grant proposal is [http://www.selenic.com/maintainer-proposal-2011.txt|here].

Contact me at mpm at selenic.com for more details!

If you're interested in making individual donations to this effort or Mercurial in general, visit our donation page!

2. Help me improve this wiki!

See WikiStyleGuide and WikiCleanup for how to get started.

3. Don't write to me, use the list!

I (like many other developers) do not have time to answer all the mail I get. If you are looking for help with Mercurial and aren't planning to pay for my time, you should send your questions and responses to the mailing list (no subscription necessary!) rather than to me privately. Answering a question in public is a service to the Mercurial community, answering it privately is not and is not a good use of my time. I will forward or delete such correspondence.
