Very interesting look behind the scenes, Sarah.

A broad assortment of donors would not compromise the integrity of the project. As long as wp-cli remains completely free and open source without software as a service built-in, taking money should not corrupt the project. Daniel is right to worry about investors though.

I'd be delighted to send a $100 Daniel's way for his hard work as soon in exchange for a clear roadmap and an easy framework to send it with a legal receipt in return. I'll look out for Daniel and Andreas at WordCamp Europe.
