+BountySource Update: The Road to v1.0
+=====================================
+
+.. container:: metadata
+
+  Cross posted by Dominik Picheta on 06/08/2016 from
+  `Update #4 on BountySource <https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/nim/updates/4-the-road-to-v1-0>`_
+
+We are now in the fourth month of the
+`Nim BountySource fundraiser <https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/nim>`_ and
+here is
+this month's update[1]. Once again this month, we have beat our previous
+donation record of $1280 having raised over $1600 over the course of July!
+That's now 4 months in a row that your monthly donations have been increasing.
+As always we are absolutely blown away by your contributions,
+`myself <https://github.com/dom96>`_ and the
+rest of the Nim team are extremely thankful for them. It's not only helping us
+pay for the necessary expenses (like for example the server that
+http://nim-lang.org runs on) but it also inspires us to keep going and to make
+Nim the best programming language that it can be.
+
+As mentioned in
+`last month's update <https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/nim/updates/3-engaging-with-our-community>`_, we have begun the process of engaging with
+the Nim community through a survey. This survey has now been open for more than
+a month and will be closing very soon (in about 2 days), so if you haven't
+answered it yet, now would be a perfect time to do so. You can find the survey
+here: http://nim-lang.org/survey.
+
+The survey itself has been designed for three types of people: Nim users,
+ex-Nim users and people who have never used Nim before. This means that you
+have no excuse not to answer it[2]. There are almost 700 submissions and after
+the survey is finalised, a blog post will be written with a thorough analysis.
+
+It is my hope that the survey analysis will give the Nim team a good idea of
+what needs to be implemented before version 1.0 can be released. Personally, I
+hope to make a thorough review of the standard library to ensure that it is
+ready for the "1.0 backwards compatibility lock"[3]. Although I myself have
+been very busy lately[4], `Araq <http://github.com/Araq>`_ has been working very hard to fix
+`High Priority <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22High+Priority%22>`_
+issues, ahead of the 1.0 release. And as always, there has also been a
+`lot of pull requests <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pulse>`_
+from a wide range of Nim users.
+
+Lastly, I would like to mention
+`Nim in Action <https://manning.com/books/nim-in-action?a_aid=niminaction&a_bid=78a27e81>`_ once again. I have recently
+finished the final chapter. All that remains now are corrections (based mainly
+on your feedback, huge thanks to everyone for reading!) and a final review.
+The book will then be put into production[5] with an estimated print date of
+around the 20th of January (as usual delays are very much possible). If you
+have not yet picked up the book, now would be a perfect time to do so. There
+is still time for you to give feedback about the book, and for me to improve it
+based on your remarks. It is not often that you can influence a book in this
+way, and it is my hope that you will help me make this book one of the best
+resources for learning Nim!
+
+As always, many thanks for reading and if you have any questions or feedback
+feel free to get in touch via email at contact@nim-lang.org or via
+`Twitter <https://twitter.com/nim_lang>`_.
+
+1 - These updates have so far been fairly regular and it is my hope to write
+at least one a month. Yep, I am patting myself on the back :)
+
+2 - I joke of course, don't worry about if you don't have the time :)
+
+3 - After version 1.0, it is typical for a piece of software (especially
+a programming language) to ensure that backwards compatibility is not broken
+between further minor versions until a new major version such as 2.0 is released.
+
+4 - Writing a book, moving to Switzerland to start a new job, and playing
+`Pokemon Go <https://pokemongostatus.org/>`_ has certainly kept me busy.
+
+5 - Basically the brilliant guys at `Manning <https://manning.com>`_ will
+process the book so that it looks good in a printed format.
