Y'all might know that I'm the President of the Public Software Fund.
Our purpose in life is to recognize (with a tax deduction) the
public-spirited nature of people who pay for the development of public
software. It may be that all of our donors can afford to fund a whole
project. Or maybe not? Once we made that decision, we needed a
marketplace.
I'm going to use a variant of the Street Performer's Protocol[1] to
gather together funding to pay for projects. The software is
currently in beta test. Perhaps FSB'ers would like to help me test
it? http://pubsoft.org/index.cgi gets you to the (new) home page.
Thanks in advance.
