Thread:Project:WikiProject Extensions/Ideas/Link within Extension to allow developers to solicit donations/reply (10)

I tend to agree that Wikimedia doling out money to random extension developers is not a good idea. There are many extensions that are not even remotely useful to Wikimedia websites, many that are not very well executed (just look at extensions with security issue templates). Now if some sort of third party (or heck even a "chapter" like organization interested in supported wiki-related activities) wanted to manage such a fund, I think that might work better, but this sort of thing is out of the scope of the wmf (imho)
