http://freedomsponsors.org http://freedomsponsors.org is a crowdfunding platform for Open Source projects.
This is how it works:
1) Someone places a bounty for a problem (tipically an issue registered on an issue tracker)
2) More people might want to sponsor the same issue
3) A developer solves the issue
4) The sponsors verify the solution and pay the developer
The FreedomSponsors website itself is an open source web application, written in Django.
Funny fact - some of its own issues have been sponsored in the website.
The source code - along with instructions on how to run it - can be found on Github.

- famousactress 13y agoHi Tony! Sorry, getting to this late. freedomsponsers.org looks totally in line with what I was imagining. I presume you built it, so thanks! I hope it gets traction. [Totally unsolicited... I'd vote to change it's name. I know it seems silly/shallow but I thought of a million and a half things that it might be before I clicked he link, and none of them were even close to what it is. (Mostly I would have assumed it to be a Koch Brothers fundraising organization)]
