- Issues are tagged Paid Issue Queue either by submitter, triage manager or Core Team
- Funding status field is managed by Core Team (“Estimate Needed”, “Estimate Accepted”, “Invoiced”, “Paid”, etc.)
- Quotes can be provided directly in Jira (or perhaps over contributor list?)
- 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.
- The Core Team will retain 15% of fees.
-- 10% to CT general ops
--5% to bug fund
- Quotes should be project based, not hourly.
- In the event of an issue, the Core Team will mediate/arbitrate.
- Only supporting level contributors and partners (or higher) can partake in the PIQ. This ensures some degree of quality.
- Core Team has first right of refusal on any issue.
- Quotes/work accepted by ineligible developers will not be merged without QA by Core Team, billable at $175 per hour paid in advance.
- Additional users may contribute financially to an issue. We’ll need a contribution form with a custom field allowing for the issue number. Or do it via webform with a field for source.
