+This new installment is in no way meant to depreciate the developers' current,
+un-paid, efforts. It is also not meant to replace the volunteer work in the
+long term. Neither is it meant to trick the [general FSF fund
+raising](http://donate.fsf.org/) out of a few dollars. Instead, this is simply
+an additional means, a place for donators to give money for *Hurd-specific
+tasks*.
+
+Everyone of the existing crew is eligible to do coding under this bounty
+system, but we also hope to attract new developers -- in a sense similar to our
+many years of participation in the [[Google Summer of Code|community/gsoc]].
+
+Participation in/use of FOSS Factory's services has explicitly been set up
+personally by me, Thomas Schwinge; there is no inherent connection to the GNU
+Hurd maintainers. This also means that each contribution that comes to life
+out of FOSS Factory's framework is subject to the same rules/review process as
+any other contribution has always been.
+
+Unless willing to discuss these publically, any concerns, questions, requests
+regarding this system can always be addressed directly to [[me|tschwinge]].
