I've been helped before by Sailors of Jolla. Its possible that I'd get help at some point, but its probably not likely at this stage.

Lets first help Mer survive, then lets focus on UI.

The one thing that has annoyed me with Nemo/Mer in recent weeks is the switch in git host. Where I was using the github repos as a basis for everything in my GTK3 Hildon work, they now just tell you repo has moved.
As a beginner to git, this is a real PITA now having forks that need local fixes to pull in upstream changes for all projects I had already forked. The github links will also be invalid for tracing upstream information.

so i guess we can make donations to them..and a big thanks
now , lets make this thread useful. while we are waiting for two guys to reply, i invite if someone knows someone who took off the boat for that matters to inform them of this possibility. and sure, i have to invited users that have been complaining about jolla not opensourcing their great creature to join in this aim. if they are able to code, they would be happy to contribute, if they arent they would be happy to share at least some donation...coding require efforts and time, working to get money needs the same, so whoever want,in his way,can contribute.lets see how many we are
i expect that we will be an interesting number, at least as much as crowd of complaining people that i have heard until this moment. So come on guys!

I think the main issue was GitHub being blocked in China and thus preventing some people from contributing, but I might be wrong.
