It's nice to have my views on this validated. Maybe I'll do something about it now though... I know a few projects that could use the documentation touch-up.

What do they mean by 'Maintaining Sustainability'?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think a FOSS project remaining sustainable.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Sustainability is a term with at least four columns: ecological, social, economical, political etc.

I'm sure it's with time/money. If they have expenditures related to building/maintaining the software that are for example covered by donations, ensuring future donations would fall under "maintaining sustainability"

I don't see why it couldn't mean all at once; overall sustainability of some thing could be seen as the sum of these individual aspects.
