Sponsor Vim development
Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of effort.
To show your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue
working on Vim please send a donation.
Since Bram no longer needs it, the money will be used
to help children in Uganda.
This is the charity recommended by Vim's author.
The money is used for a children centre in the south of Uganda, where AIDS has
caused many victims.
But at the same time donations increase Bram's motivation to keep working on
Vim!
Registered Vim user
You can become a registered Vim user by sending at least 10 euro. This works
similar to sponsoring Vim (see above). Registration was made possible for the
situation where your boss or bookkeeper may be willing to register software,
but does not like the terms "sponsoring" and "donation".
Voting for features
To give registered Vim users and sponsors an advantage over lurkers, they can
vote for the items Bram should work on. How does this voting work?
-
You send at least 10 euro. See below for
ways to transfer money.
-
You will be e-mailed a registration key. Enter this key on your
account page.
You can easily create an account if you don't have one yet.
-
You can enter your votes on the
voting page. You can only access
this page after entering a registration key.
Your votes will be counted for two years.
-
The voting results appear on the results page,
which is visible for everybody.
Additionally, once you have sent 100 euro or more in total, your name appears
in the
Vim hall of honour.
But only if you enable this on your
account page.
More explanations can be found on the FAQ page.
