#122This idea reads like a joke, but there's something to it. One feature request: In addition to high-level milestones, it would be cool if a partially-funded project would generate a public, highly detailed implementation plan.

We've seen something like 20+ years of different attempts of voluntary donations to fund open source, and it never worked. Companies barely fund anything voluntarily. I'm taking the opposite approach with Supported Source ( https://supso.org/ ) which is this: actually force companies to pay to use the project. Sell commercia…
