>
> In order to support the development of KForge into the future we are now
> creating a software club as a mechanism for sharing the costs of
> development and guiding that process. We should emphasize that KForge
> will, of course, remain open-source software.
>
> PARTICIPATION
> Membership is free of charge. Members are involved in an active process
> of sharing common proposals.
>
> Members are invited to submit new proposals, and to comment on new
> proposals submitted by others. The club will then qualify the proposals,
> and publish a prospectus containing qualified proposals. Members will be
> asked to evaluate the benefit of each proposal, and to indicate the kind
> of contributions they can make. Possible shares of the cost of each
> proposal will be discussed, and conditional agreements drafted. A call
> for agreement is made. Proposals that reach consensus are actioned.
>
> Information on how clubs work is published on the club tutorial page.
