So Gittip is a recurring donation platform for Github authors ?

  Pretty much, yes.

    I want to expand it beyond GitHub, but yes.

      +1 on expanding. making github-only tools when they could as well work in a more generic way is a bit ridiculous.

        Hey, cut me some slack! This is only a month old and I had to start somewhere. Here's the ticket for opening up: https://github.com/whit537/www.gittip.com/issues/80 https://github.com/whit537/www.gittip.com/issues/80

          chill, it was more of a friendly pat on the back than a slap in the face. you made a good decision to generalize it so soon, kudos.

            :^)

        Well, you don't need to just use it for GitHub projects, as long as people wanting to contribute know your GitHub username.

      I was just wondering when GitHub would do something along these lines. You beat them to it!

        You saw this? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4233482 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4233482 I guess GitHub tried to integrate with Pledgie years ago: https://github.com/blog/57-getting-paid-the-open-source-way/ https://github.com/blog/57-getting-paid-the-open-source-way/ Maybe they'll be willing to try again with Gittip? :-)
