I am sympathetic to the motivation for forking CoMaps, but their website, aside from a few vague statements, does not give me any reassurance that they are better governed. Who are these people (names)? How are they incorporated, and where? How are donations spent? How is the development direction decided? Until these points are clarified, I am hesitant to switch to CoMaps.

From what I can gather, they are not yet incorporated and they are working through organizational questions in [1] and the issues thereof. The `ACCOUNTS.md` file there gives an idea about the main people behind the project and the donation page on Open Collective [2] also documents team members and how they spend those donations.

This is publicly available:

- People who are regularly contributing to the project: https://codeberg.org/org/comaps/members

- Not yet incorporated, plans likely to have a non-profit in Europe.

- All donation spending is on OpenCollective - https://opencollective.com/comaps

- People who want to contribute to the project can just do so on Codeberg, there is no master plan, people just discuss the work, anyone can provide input : https://codeberg.org/org/comaps/members

For comparison, Organic Maps shares nothing about donations and is opaque about direction and decisions. If those question need to be answered before using an app, then it may be time to drop Organic Maps.
