-As many of you may or may not know, wine-staging is a large set of experimental
-patches which provide various improvements to WINE, but are not quite suitable for
-upstreaming. This set of patches has been continuously managed for many years by
-us, a small group of volunteers.  The way this works is that we often review patches
-attached to various bug reports found at https://bugs.winehq.org/ which may fix bugs,
-but may not be quite suitable to be upstreamed due to needing some cleanup or more
-proper implementation. In the event that this happens, we add the patches to wine-staging
-instead, and keep them updated/maintained as well as attempt to clean them up to be upstreamed.
-We also both write and verify patches which fix various bugs that may not have patches,
-and in turn allow them run better using WINE. This includes testing on various hardware,
-games, and applications. 
 
-As this is a volunteer project which is separate from WINE and CodeWeavers, any expenses
-for applications, games, or hardware which we do not own comes out of pocket. This is the
-reason this patreon has been created. All of our work is provided publicly for free and can
-be found at https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging. We do not expect to be paid for
-any of the work provided, as mentioned this project is completely voluntary. However the
-proceeds from Patreon are most definitely appreciated, and go towards helping us with
-obtaining the various hardware and software mentioned. This in turn allows us to continue
-to perform testing, provide fixes, and get them upstreamed, ultimately aiming to provide a
-better experience for all WINE users.
