## What future funding will enable

* Realtime API support, using WebSockets. This will consist of documentation and support for using REST framework together with Django Channels, plus integrating WebSocket support into the client libraries.
* Better authentication defaults, possibly bringing JWT & CORS support into the core package.
* Securing the community & operations manager position long-term.
* Opening up and securing a part-time position to focus on ticket triage and resolution.
* Paying for development time on building API client libraries in a range of programming languages. These would be integrated directly into the upcoming API documentation.

Sign up for a paid plan today, and help ensure that REST framework becomes a sustainable, full-time funded project.
