First, Robert, Dan, others on this list, your contribution is really
appreciated and I am happy that you are around.

Second, this is misunderstanding. My paragraph was not meant for any
particular person, definitely. There was no name in my mail and I
explicitly  removed all people from TO and CC.

It is great that you motivate people for using Base. Though, we also
need to motivate people to develop Base. One of the motivation is money.
It does not mean that you (Robert, Dan, others on this list) should pay
the money. But maybe you know some Base users from successful or bigger
companies that might afford to pay someone for fixing a nasty bug. Or
maybe you know someone with developer capabilities who is interested
into Base. Then you could encourage them to contribute.

My native language is not English. I am not a politician. My sentences
might be sometimes misleading or unclear.

I am sorry for confusion. I hope that it is more clear now.

Best Regards.
Petr
