Ok, sounds liek a thing to try. Now how would you implement any idea
that requieres Octave transferring money to developers? I am not sure
that is possible. for sure one could do it on a personal basis,
somebody send money to somebody else.
- What would be the initial money needed to test one of these ideas?
(we can collect this form the current user pool) and How do calculate
such things?
- What platform one could use to provide this? Does FSF has anythgin
we can use or we would have to set up a website (more dev time!)?
- Can we use Agora for this? (this would be awesome) How, who can
provide the dev time?
