[Kdenlive-devel] Kdenlive Funding structure - paying developers feature by feature

[Christ-Jan Wijtmans]

As i understand it currently KDEnlive was under a refactoring/rewrite so
the code is currently broken. I havent looked at the branches and if it can
be continued from a branch. This project seems very nice however in this
case i feel like it needs some rewrites before features can be added. How
does this project deal with rewrites as obviously they are not added
features? I hope someone more knowledgeable about kdenlive can give more
information though.



Live long and prosper,

Christ-Jan Wijtmans
