Re: @Groovy Champions: Groovy Development Funding ?

[MG]

Hi Mario,

thank you for the input. If I interpret the information on the webpage 
correctly, the system works for one-on-one funding of tasks between e.g. 
a developer and a stakeholder for specific tasks of a project. I don't 
know if this would work in the case of Groovy, because here we would 
probably have a larger number of  people giving smaller amounts to fund 
a development goal together...


Cheers,
mg

Tribe is a task-based employment marketplace for product development. 
It was created with software development in mind. The tasks can be 
managed through the open sourced Taiga management platform 
(https://taiga.io/). So tasks could be managed in the context of a 
project.

Hi Eric,

thank you for the suggestion. Do you know how much money they take
for their service and if they accept Paypal (I just thought about
this, and not accepting Paypal is imho close to a knockout, to
keep the entry barrier as low as possible; that would exclude
Kickstarter according to their FAQ, but here one could probably
assume that many potential Groovy backers would already have an
account...).

Do they support specific funding foals also (which typically
attract more funding), or is a subscription only model ?

Cheers,
mg

KickStarter/Indiegogo with more of a subscription model which

I actually am of the impression that this is the only

I think in general we would be in favor of doing
this so long as it was done well - and most of us
wonder whether we have the time to market/advertise
it well. I also suspect that having a well-defined
goal (like what JUnit 5 did to some degree) greatly
helps to attract some one-off investment interest.
