Donations --------- -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.
