Documenting project_urls to suggesting thanking or funding mechanisms
Hello distutils-sig! This email comes to you by way of an issue I filed ( https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1276), the tl:dr; of which is: I would like it to be easier for packages and package maintainers to indicate how they want to be thanked or funded for their work. I created https://pypi.org/project/thanks/ to help with this, but right now it's reading from a JSON blob maintained by the library. I would prefer to read from the packages themselves, and the `project_urls` dict seems like a good place to do so. Here is an example from the thanks project: https://github.com/phildini/thanks/commit/a4e549338eb3e3c70b1dd5628b38dcbdbf... What I am planning to do: - Update the documentation and sample project with a `Project-URL: Funding` item, to encourage maintainers to add this information. What I would love to know from this list: - What do we think of the name "Funding"? Would you prefer "Thanks"? Cheers, and thank you for your time. Philip
FWIW, some people aren't in it for the money, but would enjoy gratitude <http://saythanks.io/>. I'd personally do `{'funding': 'https://fundme.example.com', 'thanks': ' https://saythanks.io/to/waynew <https://saythanks.io/to/waynew'%7D>'}` =========================================================== I welcome VSRE emails.

That works for me. I'm happy to document both. On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 6:36 AM, Wayne Werner <waynejwerner@gmail.com> wrote:
