Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action? (beehaw.org)

Currently, we have $6,500.91 in our hopper.

It just seems weird having all of those, mostly, unused funds sitting there doing nothing.

I just wanted to start the conversation about the possibility of paying-it-forward in some capacity. For example, a certain percentage of monthly contributions could go to a charity.

What are your thoughts?

I'd hope some of it gets socked away for any possible time in the future when costs may be greater.

As for the rest of it, I'd like to see it used to grow the platform - marketing to increase user base, more developers, etc. Whatever makes sense.

With £6k you're not gonna afford one developer, honestly, but I agree with you
