Hi everyone,
I'm Alex from SeedAndDew. I was chatting with Moshe about SeedAndDew and whether Twisted would like to participate and he
mentioned bringing it to the mailing list to get your opinions.
SeedAndDew is a common subscription platform that allows users to
contribute to a number of open source projects with a single
subscription. The idea here is that it's a lot
easier to get people to contribute $10/month to every open source
project they work with than it is to get them to contribute $5/month for
a specific project. The subscription revenue will be distributed based
on
the amount of time users spend reading documentation of the respective
project which I anticipate will correspond well with actual use. So if a
user spends 10% of their time reading the Twisted documentation, you
get 10% of the subscription revenue.
Our goal is to increase the pool of people who contribute to open
source by removing the friction of having to manage subscriptions paid
to specific projects and changing it as your stack and interests change.
This would be a passive income source that doesn't require any further
work outside of the initial integration.
So far we have 10 projects including SQL Alchemy, RSpec, Bundler,
Browsh and Parse. Does this seem like something you would be interested
in?
