+## Context
+
+to make a rough planing, and estimate of founding goals possible we need to put some numbers on various things we want to use this founding for.
+Additionally, we need an order for possible expenses, as we will for a while not have guaranteed available founding.
+
+
+# Planned expenses
+
+## Level 1
+
+### Release Creation
+
+Creation of new Releases is one of the most important tasks for a software to make it actually available in an ordered way.
+The time needed for Releases might differ, so the actual payout might in parts be higher.
+It may also be relevant, when security releases are needed.
+
+x,000$ per Quarter
+
+### Process / Review / Solve reported Security risks
+
+We have a rare but steady stream of security reports.
+Processing these takes time, and bringing solutions into our main branch even more.
+Additionally with this budget we could take on some of the lower reported issues which currently are more usability issues.
+
+4,000$ per Quarter
+
+
+## Level 2
+
+### Extend and Refine our automated Testing
+
+Tests ensure persistent stability
+
+8,000$ per Quarter
+
+### investigate and resolve older or more complicated issues
+
+While we get a lot of volunteer contributions, there are some issues which are to complex or need more time for investigation, trying and development.
+The results will still be usefull, but exeed what is possible for most volunteers.
+
+8,000$ per Quarter
+
+
+## Level 3
+
+### Fulltime Developer
+
+Have a developer working Fulltime on various ToDos.
+The way we would do or organize it is still open and depends on the People already close to the project and their availability.
+The Sum is not what we will pay directly, but what we should reserve as Budget, and might likely be used more flexible.
+
+20,000$ per quarter
+
