Some projects choose to use Gratipay. If you take a look at Gratipay's website their goal is to provide voluntary payments (and eventually a payroll system) to contributors for open work. Any team/project can apply to join Gratipay, but the main stipulation is that "public issue tracker with documentation for self-onboarding, and be willing to use our payroll feature." https://gratipay.com/about/ https://gratipay.com/about/ Once payroll rolls out contributors set their own compensation. Some more information on that can be found here: https://gratipay.com/about/features/payroll https://gratipay.com/about/features/payroll Previously Gratipay was Gittip, and worked much like Patreon - essentially a donation or ~tip~ system. There's still some work to be done, but I've been following this project for awhile. I've been working full time now on other stuff, but I keep up with their updates, and Chad (founder) is a great dude.
