I hate to say it but i sort of agree.

I’ve also followed PP from the initial grant in Paris but a lot of these problems seem to be self-inflicted. Ones that most stood out were having no insurance, unrealistic open source expectations and giving $100k away rather than furthering the cause.

I’m sure theres minutiae and context i’m missing but that post doesn’t scream competence.

I’m worried any donation would be fluttered away.

The line about being at peace with the project dying seems bizarre. Perhaps time for a little organisational shakeup

Perhaps it's just me but this was the line that made the most sense to me. If a non-profit thinks they've achieved their mission, or at least that they don't have a good plan for next steps, then the most sensible thing to do is to close shop rather than to spend money unnecessarily.

Hindsight is always 10/10. They might have tried something new, and most of founders learn by making experiences and mistakes. I don't see an issue here

They're pleading for funds for version 5... Details of which they'll only work on and share IF they get more money...

If you don't see an issue here, they we can safely preclude you from a future in any sort of investment or management.
