No problem! You could checkout the secushare-spec repository to look at
the current state and what needs to be done.

Thanks for the info, I forwarded the flattr problem.

As far as I know donations can be made through WauHolland and GNUnet eV:
https://www.wauland.de/en/ https://gnunet.org/ev

I am not aware how their donations work, but there should be a chance to
express where donations go to, as WauHolland and GNUnet were used before
as I was told, so addressing SecuShare should be possible.

If you have more questions and psyced (xmpp, irc, telnet,..) is not your thing,
I could answer questions here, and relay some further info back and forth,
although it's generally easier to use the official communication channels.
