Hi,

I am an admin of the Pd Facebook group.

People have been asking for a sticky-post announcing this funding for GEM
development.
A poll confirmed this was overwhelming supported.

Can someone give me a SINGLE link which is best for the entire project?
It should have some narrative about WHO is running the project and
WHAT it is, and HOW people can contribute funds.

Also, is there a way people can contribute funds to the entire project,
and not towards fixing specific bugs?  (I am unfamiliar with this funding
model).

I want to satisfy the request for a sticky post, but I'm not sure how to
proceed.

Thanks,
BH
