Continuing the discussion from [Fast away the old year passes](https://talk.commonmark.org/t/fast-away-the-old-year-passes/2328/3):

I think CommonMark would fit very well on [https://opencollective.com/](https://opencollective.com/).

It’s basically Patreon for open source projects. If the original supporting orgs chipped in at the $250/month Sponsor level, that’d be enough to cover a small monthly sprint.

- $250 from Meteor
- $250 from GitHub
- $250 from Reddit
- $250 from StackExchange
- $250 from Discourse

= $1250/month

GitHub, StackExchange and Reddit might even be able to push that a bit further 😉 And I’m sure quite a few individuals would be happy to chip in as well.

what say ye, @jgm & @codinghorror?

Unlikely, the issue is not lack of money so much as lack of people with the right skill set and background to assist.
