Let’s fund the reprogramming and future proofing of Ipernity in 2021
If the cost is around 30,000 EUR and I say I will donate 100 EUR are there 290 other members who are able and willing to do the same ?
The answer from previous attempts is probably No.
If I say I will donate 1,000 EUR are there 29 other members who are able and willing to do the same ?
I guess the answer may also be no.
BUT what if a smaller number of people donate a larger amount e.g 3,000 EUR are there 9 others that would do this ?
This is NOT a promise but I may be persuaded to donate at that level and be one of ten that save Ipernity if others support the funding of the work.
Could 10 financial backers be found to fund the Reprogramming of Ipernity ?

I personally have time for helping a little, but not for that larger task (and it's not my strong suit - I'm more of a supporter than a leader).
The current IMA team has people who will help of course, but as far as I know there isn't a particular IMA team member who can devote the time needed for this re-programming project as the project manager.
So let's put our thinking caps on and find a way to search for and inspire a member to lead the project!

Colin Ashcroft club has replied to Keith Burton clubWe seriously need to make it clear, what is required, and what it takes to build up a new website and take a fresh start. It needs investors, and if they can not be found, then it is a realistic conclusion as well to admit it.
Options? Drive the old car until it no longer can not be mended? Or give up before that, and join to some other bandwagon.
Or, try to find a cheaper alternative to keep at least some of us happy. I am currently trying to find out what the existing open source content management systems (CMS) has to offer. Not very promising so far...

It allows also "group blogs", aka co-writing. Which is almost like a group. But that environment is super complex! Layers of tools on multiple user interfaces, and hundreds of moving parts. One would have to provide a pretty ready made account for average members to start working with it.
