Isn't IBAN just the account identifier SEPA uses? (The other identifier necessary to make SEPA transfers being the BIC = bank id.)
IBAN is the international bank number.
IBAN is the International Bank Account Number.
Oh it's much worse than that. They only accept member fees paid by SEPA transfers . As in Single Euro Payment Area. Don't live in a country that uses the Euro or is part of the EU? Your money isn't welcome here. What a dumb policy.
It would be, if it were true.

This is just wrong: they support both SEPA and international bank transfers through IBAN.

Can Codeberg.org achieve long-term financial sustainability relying solely on member fees? Are there any successful precedents for this model ?
No, you can donate: https://docs.codeberg.org/improving-codeberg/donate/
Codeberg e.V. is a non-profit.

The latter works everywhere you can make a normal international bank transfer. It's just manual, while SEPA Direct Debit is automatic payment.
Yes. I am a paying member and thus I get the member newsletter where finances are disclosed and discussed. It’s a low-cost operation and we have enough reserves in the bank.
However, I am concerned about the long-term sustainability of Codeberg, especially if it plans to support CI (which is resource-intensive) and attract a significantly larger user base.
Similarweb statistics indicate a substantial difference in traffic between Codeberg and GitHub. While Codeberg has approximately 2 million page views (700.8K visits * 2.78 pages/visits) per month, GitHub boasts over 2.7 billion (462.4M visits * 6 pages/visits). This translates to Codeberg having roughly 0.1% of GitHub's traffic.
If Codeberg aims to reach even 10% of GitHub's traffic, the operational costs would likely increase by a factor of 100 or much more ( almost certain ). Has Codeberg internally addressed this scalability challenge and outlined strategies for managing such growth? What are Codeberg's long-term goals in terms of user base and features, and how do they plan to balance these aspirations with sustainability?
Thank you.
