How to financially support the Codidact project?
The main Codidact page tells us that:
Our goal is to build an open-source platform for community-driven Q&A sites. We aim to welcome beginners and experts alike and to empower communities of learners and teachers. We'll fund it by seeking donations, not by paywalls, and work with individual communities that want to join us.
Clearly, there are some costs associated with hosting the communities (webservers, database servers).
I am interested in also contributing financially to this project. How can I do that?

It's great to hear that you are interested in helping us funding our project. That's like really excitingly awesome.
Unfortunately, we don't want to accept donations until we have a proper legal structure, that can be held accountable. We don't want you to have to trust some of our team members that they do the right thing with the money, we want you to be able to know that the right things happen with your money.
We are currently working on setting up a legal structure. We've been making good process over the last few weeks. There is an amazing lawyer that'll help us setting up a non-profit organization (the process will be two-leveled; first we incorporate as a "CIC" -- community interest company, then we'll become a proper charity with tax benefits, but that takes more time). As far as I can tell, we'll hopefully be able to complete incorporation before the end of the year. Y'all will hear from us when we've done it.
So... thanks for your offer and we'd be really glad if your offer will be still there in a few weeks/months when we've officially become an incorporated organization.
