Mudlet Sponsorship Plan

1. Funding Goal Ideas
(those are yearly costs, they add up)
- $100 Apple code signing certificate
- $600 Windows code signing certificate from digicert ($499.00 for one year)
- $1050 Windows code signing certificate for 2 years from digicert ($475 per year, saves a bit of money)
- $1350 Additional windows CI job (would possibly allow us to create 64-bit windows binaries without delay, appveyor charges $25 per additional job per month)
- $???? Additional travis (macOS?) CI jobs (we'd need to contact travis support for a quote)
2. Points from other creators
- Publicize it regularly
- Create a Discord role
- Have the $1 tier
- stickers :D (designed by Stephen!)
- Coding livestreams
- Coding Q&A videos
- Live coding sessions of Mudlet scripts
3. Come up with reward ideas
- Discord role
- Private Q&A channel with devs
Anti-deas:
- Getting your game listed
- Putting advertising on mudlet.org
4. Investigate other platforms
Keneanung checked out other platforms that Github supports - none are all that popular and Patreon had the lowest fees.
5. Be mindful of doing it wrong
- don't want anyone to feel left out - Mudlet is gonna be free, and we're not doing this to make people without money feel bad (practically speaking the amount that'll care will not be high, but still!)
