  "textContent": "Especially with the recent issues with hackage, I feel like I want to start donating to the Haskell Foundation (not that I expect my contribution to solve the issues!).\n\nHowever, I think that one thing that has made me reluctant to give a donation is a lack of a sense of scale or worth.\n\nTake an animal shelter, for example. They can concretely say “Donating £10 a month means that you are providing toys and food to dogs like Spot; £20 means we can get professional medical care”, and so on. Obviously, Haskell doesn’t have that kind of heart-string pulling, but something like “A monthly £10 donation keeps Hackage running for an hour” or “Over the course of a year of your donations, you’ll help sponsor projects like these: X, Y, Z”. Personally, I wouldn’t even want some kind of donator’s newsletter like other charities seem to do; once I know the worth of my donation, I’m happy for it to keep going.\n\nMaybe this is just my odd perspective, but putting a value on what my donation means would help me decide what to donate.",
