A comment on Call for help: fund GIMP development and Libre animation. Parent comment
In terms of usage, I think publicly available data can provide a useful enough picture:
- downloads
- upvotes (ex. github stars)
- homepage traffic
- forum activity (ex. stackoverflow)
- reported corporate usage
- etc.
Finding out current funding is more difficult, and seems to rely on self-reporting and trust.
If the site also accepted donations for projects, it could display which are most underfunded on its platform relative to their utility.
