+## Financial help

+Cutting new releases is [time consuming manual process](https://github.com/almende/vis/issues/2546) that requires codebase knowledge and experience. Pre-release code review and compatibility testing becomes harder with time as more features are added. Backing the project financially allows members to [allocate time for releases](https://github.com/almende/vis/issues/4197) in the absense of company support.
