TikiWikiFunding

Below is an exchange from the early days of the project. The money mentioned received was transferred. In more recent years, we have a bank account and regular channels to get donations.

Good ideas live on support. 😉

About founding,

I want to make very clear that Tiki doesn't requiere donations or funding to
continue, however many users have manifested an intention to donate some
money and even some companies may do so if they find Tiki useful so opening
a Tiki paypal account is a good idea.
Sadly my country regulations forbid citizens from opening a paypal account,
if some of you (Marc?) want to open a paypal account in the name of Tiki
then I'll trust you to admin the tiki account in behalf of me.

Hi everybody!

I have added a PayPal address to manage donations for Tiki.

I will manage the Tiki account and periodically transfer all the
funds to our head developer.

It is really unclear to me how much this can generate. However,
I would be very happy if, one day, we get enough for Luis to quit
his day job and focus full time on Tiki.
