https://opencollective.com/opensource claims 5% platform fee + 5% host fee + ~3% payment fee. So we're down to getting about 57% of funds ;-) It still doesn't answer the question what we actually would use funds for (but that's not for you to answer of course :D). The only reason I can see right now is future development sprints, where this likely won't yield enough, while another crowdfunding likely would work out very well. > >I'm also not sure if this works out.

I might go back there for a quick look (not really for pytest because I know the features I use); but still, I probably wouldn't spend much time there. I guess it could still work out, but I feel like assigning/dividing funds manually (think Patreon) both results in a more fair distribution, and gives me control where my money actually goes, based on what I find most important/useful/... for what I do. Just my $0.02 though ;-) Florian -- https://www.qutebrowser.org | m...@the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | https://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | https://email.is-not-s.ms/
