Who is behind Fervr?

If you mean the people, we have a team of happy, hard-working Christians (visit our careers page if you also want to be 'behind' Fervr)

If you mean the big organisation backing the whole thing, Fervr is run by Youthworks.

Who invented Fervr?

There's some history behind it if you're interested, but the quick and easy answer is: God did.

How is Fervr funded?

Fervr has been funded by Anglican Youthworks in the initial stages but will be receiving less assistance from 2010 onwards. The long-term goal is for Fervr to eventually be self-sustaining. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in donating, advertising or sponsoring Fervr!

How can I help with Fervr's development?

The greatest act of love you can show us at this point in time is to go BUG HUNTING. Once you find a bug, send us a detailed description via our bug reporting form.

You can keep track of what we're working on via the Fervr development activity feed.

We're also hoping to set up a development environment some time early next year so stay tuned!

How can I support Fervr financially?

Whether you're big or small, young or old, if you value the work of Fervr, help keep Fervr free by joining Friends of Fervr

What does 'Fervr' mean?

A couple of years ago when Web 2.0 was like, this really uber-trendy, totally cool awesome thing which everyone wanted to be part of, there were lots of little start-ups with misspelt names. 'Fervr' happens to be one of them (the real spelling is "fervour" or "fervor" depending on which part of the world you're from). Fervr also occurs in Romans 12:11...

Why are you guys obsessed with black and red?

We just are.

What's that strange thing in your logo above the 'v'?

Is it a grapefruit? An apple? No, it's a tadpole! A panda! We've been pretty amused (sometimes downright confused) with some pretty creative suggestions as to what our logo depicts. But really, it's just a speech bubble.
