A new funding model for open source software

@freddy yes, but can we keep this out of the hands of github and not involve them at all?
Let's use fund pools to sponsor FOSS! Who will manage them? The historically most oppressive company against FOSS. And screw those who avoid github for ideological reasons.
Interesting read.
Between the existing solutions, Flattr seems like the closest to your vision.
After watching the 60s video on Snowdrift, I took away that if you don't pay as much as the rest of the group, you stop paying. That doesn't seem like a great way to entice people to donate. Hopefully I've misunderstood it.
@gray I love what the creator of Flattr has done with both IPredator and especially Njalla, however Flattr doesn't hit the nail on the head. Hopefully it gets better though...
