  1. I have some small suggestions for wording.
  2. Both articles need featureImage.

after randy explained to me the concept of ever-more i was unfamiliar with i only have one small nitpick. the rest looks to be in good shape!

## Sustainability and Finance

- **Improve our Marketing CTA and information**: The [ddev.com "Support DDEV"](https://ddev.com/support-ddev/) page says lots of things, but the financial CTA gets lost there. We need to make it completely clear that for the project to be sustainable, the community will need to support the two developers who are working full-time on it, and make clear the many ways that this can be done.
- **Continue to develop contributors and maintainers**: As the project grows, we need more skilled contributors and maintainers. (The only difference between those is that maintainers typically have a higher level of direct access to project resources, but as a wide-open source project, almost all interested contributors can accomplish almost anything without enhanced privileges.) In the last two years, we've had [quite a lot of contributor trainings](/blog/category/training), and anecdotes indicate that people are using those recordings and blogs for training, but the actual attendance at them was not impressive. I'm thinking that this year these topics should probably be addressed with screenshare recordings and updated blogs instead of calendar-scheduled events. Given the financial struggles in our contributors' world, I doubt that we'll be able to add paid maintainers in 2025, I'm most interested right now in the reasonable goal of retaining and paying the two amazing maintainers we currently have.

wide-open source reads odd. with the dash between wide and open source it reads like wide-open is one concept belonging together and source is the other? i stumble every time i skim across that part. would it make to rephrase it to something like an open source project welcoming everyone, open to everyone would sounded better but the term open is already used a few words before.

It's a bit of a pun or joke, implying "wide open" (meaning very open) but also "wide-open-source" (meaning really-open-source maybe.
