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

Ithought this could be worth sharing.
The company I work for developed some time ago, Tribe
(https://tribe.taiga.io/)
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.
More details about Tribe (how it works, payments...) :

I hope this helps

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

I know of some indie game developers and podcasters that are
using Patreon. A possible alternative to something like
KickStarter/Indiegogo with more of a subscription model which
could even be $1/month.

That should be no problem, I would be happy to do a Groovy

something as simple as a "grateful box pack" with a T-shirt,
sticker or a mug. I would love that too.

Actually, Apache also accept donations but I think

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.
