BTW if he isn't already I suggest monitoring error fare sites like https://hacktheflight.net where you can often find flights at 1/3 of the normal price
I've been developing this project little by little as well, still alpha quality but has a bunch of features I at least find useful: https://gitlab.com/mayel/dataverse
And mutual credit is a step further ;) In fact a few people involved in CommonsPub and related projects are also trying to help the FairCoin community slowly transition to better tech solutions...
@cj That's brilliant! I've been thinking about the need for something along those lines and really like your approach! Good look and let us know how/when we can help.
It seems most #PlatformCoops haven't figured out that they have different kind of members let alone how to fairly share value among them:
- core value proposition workers (eg bike delivery bikers) - beneficiaries / partners (eg local shops) - patrons (eg clients) - initiators / creators (eg innovation / design/ development) - support workers (eg systems maintenance / community facilitation / tech support) - promoters (eg member outreach / partnerships with other co-ops) - (and maybe others, depending on each case)
As for me, I don't usually *expect* up-front compensation as an initiator, because: 1) there's often no budget for it, outside of capitalism 2) it often feels like play, at least when it's new
But I do need to eat so I often do lots of support work as well, and do expect compensation when I'm expected to act like a 24/7 on-call janitor. The stress alone...
