Updating Ugandan orphan sponsoring/donations in EVi codebase #42

NerdNextDoor commented 2026年03月16日 01:12:28 +01:00

Currently, a lot of our links and references to Ugandan orphan support in EVi are outdated to Bram's old dissolved charity ICCF Holland. Kuwasha currently handles this now, and I think it's only right that we go around EVi and start updating this accordingly.

Despite us being a hard fork, I believe that Bram's mission should not be abandoned here.

However, it would make sense during this to remove mentions of sponsoring EVi/VIm development, focusing solely on the Ugandan orphans.

For once, I'll say that VIm upstream is the only time we can properly take from. I'd be weary of AI gen text though, so it's best to rewrite it ourselves first.

I've already made a start too in commit NerdNextDoor/evi@880e3c2ad7.

I noticed there is no help page for it yet, I'm assuming it hasn't been taken from upstream.

We haven't really taken anything from upstream post-9.1 as we can't really trust anything from it to not be delusional LLM vomit. The information regarding the new charity which took over the ICCF's operation is about the only potential exception to that, though it's probably far more reliable to get the information straight from the charity's website then write a new help page ourselves (especially since things like registered users don't apply to EVi)
