Yeah, I am not sure I will get this terminology perfect. But before code gets dropped it has to be merged in magical ways I don't fully understand with any changes SteemIt, Inc. makes.

@timcliff and at least one other have had their code accepted though.

If the foundation is going to be a non-profit, I have reasons to believe it will take a long time to get it set up. Much can happen and it could at some point be open to other fund-raising attempts.

As you can probably tell I have some mixed feelings about the entire thing myself, but in line with the social and economic experiment that Steem is, I think it is good to play around with ideas of how to move forward.

My last point... voluntary organization is not the same thing mandatory leadership. So, far we have been herding cats. :)
