Hello, It has come to my attention that some of our developers are now working full-time on Parabola (and not getting paid enough to even pay the bills!). We should come up with a plan to give these hard workers a minimum living wage. The only way I see this possible will be a weekly or monthly giving program, the other options such as KickStarter or IndieGogo are not sustainable on the long-term.
As such, I think we should reach a consensus on a good monthly giving platform to use for the project, and how the money will be distributed. I think that the core developers that are working full-time should be paid a reasonable living wage amount for their efforts, and any excess could be given as bounty to part-time volunteers for fixing complex bugs, and/or to help grow the much needed infrastructure. In any case, here are the available platforms that are: a) Libre/OpenSource and b) Monthly or weekly payments options to encourage continued sustainable donations: * GratiPay - https://gratipay.com/ * Liberapay - https://liberapay.com/ (Better I think, since it includes Team payment) Others/non-free: Patreon, do nxt, etc. Taxes etc. would need to be handled by Ceate, but I don't think that will be an issue since we already have a good relationship with them for our current donations. Thoughts? Luke
