[Nix-dev] Funding campaign for "Get rid of the Perl dependency" in Nix

[Domen Kožar]

We're almost at the goal. 92% is funded. It's happening.

Big thanks to each and everyone chipping in, all parts of the cake count
and are greatly appreciated. I strongly believe this is a good push for Nix
community.

If you haven't contributed yet, now is the time to help finish the funding:
