Project ID: 16

Project intended to scope out the process, needs, etc. of expanding the paid issue queue to the community.

Some key points:

  1. Any issue can be tagged as "Paid Issue Queue", indicating that the submitter is willing to fund all or a portion of the issue in order to prioritize it.
  2. Issues are tagged Paid Issue Queue either by submitter, triage manager or Core Team.

  7. The Core Team acts as financial clearing house (escrow), receiving payment from requester in advance, and remitting payment to developer once work has been finalized and approved.
  8. The Core Team will retain 15% of fees.
  9. 10% to CT general ops
