While we always gratefully accept any contributions of code, documentation, and the like, there are other ways to help I2P move forward. As with any open source project, our goals would be achieved more rapidly if we were able to support all of our contributors to work on I2P full time. However, as with any open source project, that's not a possibility. Instead, we are making use of a bounty system, whereby anyone can get support for working on something that people want implemented, and people who want to contribute to I2P can be assured that their support goes to what they care about.
We are also keeping open the ability for people who want to support I2P but don't have strong feelings about the bounties available. Those people can simply put their trust in the I2P team to do what we feel is best by donating to a catch-all general fund that will be used as deemed necessary - allocated to various bounties, covering incidentals (hosting, etc), and the like.
