These folks were way ahead of their time. Hopefully some of the people involved go on to work with some of the more recent online payments projects, like GNU Taler and the Interledger Foundation's Web Monetization protocol.

It would be great if we could collect pledges towards specific aspects of Snikket dev, such as apps for specific OS, or in this case UX work. If anyone can recommend a simple, low maintenance way to collect payments in that way, please let us know.

Great stuff, if it stays above €5000 per week for the next year, that would be €250,000 distributed among people building the commons!

I agree with you that taking corporate money through the back door, via philanthropic or governments grants, isn't really a solution either. This is why folks are experimenting with stuff like #SocialEnterprise, #MicroPatronage models, crypto-token donations etc
