Do you know any alternative to #BountySource, #FreedomSponsors, #Gratipay or #Liberapay to fund free software projects?

#OpenRefine is looking for a new solution.

@Liberapay thanks a lot! btw I did push for Liberapay but some backers like to put bounties on specific github issues

@pintoch The desire to fund solutions to specific issues is understandable but in practice bounties generate overhead and other undesirable side effects.

@Liberapay also the lack of paypal support was apparently a problem, but I know you don't have control over that :-/

@pintoch For the record can you tell us if they wanted PayPal support on the donor side (payins), or on the recipient side (payouts), or on both sides?

@Liberapay I think it was on the donor side.
