Hi @weshatheleopard ,

Thank you so much for all the activity and maintaining in the last few years. I first used this gem in 2017 and I still use it often.

Would it be possible to set up any structure for us to donate? I tried looking on the readme and your GitHub profile and didn't find anything.

Yes and no.

Donating money? No, I will NEVER accept monetary donations. Given how intractable IRS is, such donations (especially in the amounts I can foresee people might be willing to offer) will be way more of a liability than benefit.

However, one thing that would be absolutely appreciated would be donating brainpower. Join me in working on this gem, write code, fix issues. One thing that is long overdue is creating a "streaming XML parser" and ditching nokogiri. The other one would be formula support. I have these on my mind -- but these would require way more brainpower that I'm willing to dedicate to this project.

That's understandable and thank you for responding. I think things are quite busy with work at the moment but I definitely do like taking a look around here or there.
