@neil @douginamug they can still include input from experts, the Irish Citizens Assembly seems really great from what I've read, e.g.

https://www.involve.org.uk/resources/blog/opinion/citizens-assembly-behind-irish-abortion-referendum

@mayel @strypey there was a cobudget setup for cotech at the last annual retreat - not sure of it's current status --> https://fund.coops.tech/ I'll do a bit of digging

I don't understand the enthusiasm for Open Collective, they are a for-profit, VC-backed, private company that take 10% of your money (+ 2.9% + 0.30c fee from stripe).

https://liberapay.com/ (specifically the "Teams" bit), seems like a great alternative to this - and fees can be as low as 0.6% / €0.59.

Liberapay is just missing the startup-style hubris :/ (and the sexy website)

Can someone recommend an approach to make a simple/lightweight/unincorporated co-op to turn our hosted foodsaving software (https://karrot.world/) into something like a platform co-op?

At the moment we administrate the server/instance without any clear structure... would like something more like social.coop.

A short constitution + a loomio group?
