Something slightly different....

It would be nice if Github gave you the option of adding $1 - N$ onto your membership fee, and then distributed that between the open source projects or authors that you follow.




I thought the same...I think that some people want to support good open source projects, but it is not really convenient to go through several project pages and donate (which is not always possible). This would facilitate such contribution.


I think Kachingle was trying to do this for online media generally.


Yeah, and they got burned because they were staunchly opt-out. That is, they would collect money on your behalf without your permission.
