Disbursing this alleged eighty grand sounds like a perfect use for "The Collaboratron" which is what I call my work in progress governance and accounting system. http://davidnicol.diaryland.com/090531_6.html Wins compared with Nick's proposal: 1: p5p gets a business model, which is, we earn interest on our endowment, and disburse that to our participants 2: p5p (or the endowment-interest-disbursing committee, or TPF: whatever existing or new entity takes this role) gets a formal governance system 3: claims can be entered for work already done, work done before the beginning of the disbursement program. 4: no crappy is-a-contract/isn't-a-contract mishigas. Since there's no limit on the pool of "hours you worked on this" it becomes perfectly possible to do bug-fixes on clear contract terms. (I think Nick's claim that "it isn't a contract" is specious. Working on something not intrinsically amusing in exchange for an expectation of money on completion is exactly a contract; the fact that there isn't yet an internet court of small claims with any standing to file a lawsuit for an unpaid $500 in isn't going to make someone who thinks they should have gotten paid and didn't any happier about their situation)Thread Previous | Thread Next
