UFO:AI and Kickstarter
Crystan:
We/Someone should "pay" someone to do some opensource stuff? That sounds really weird.
Nutter:
Well, Dwarf Fortress seems to pull along nicely with the occasional donation.
Then again, that one's pretty much two relatives going at it. Not much of a team.
Kildor:
Not should but might. There are different ways to say «Thanks».
It will be nice to have some money, because it will allow to get normal designer and clean design of the game. May be some modelers.
But I always thought about google summer code event.

Afaik dwarf fortress is Freegame produced by a company, not a Opensource game produces by some guys that have nothing better to do with their time like us :D. They probably released their code as opensource but thats completly different how our project are developed.

Well you can support add a support button where people can spend some money which will be shared on the team to say thx and support the core team - but earn money to pay someone to do opensource stuff - sounds still weird to me. It also could mean that everyone want to get money for working on this project if we hire anyone for money.
Nutter:
Basically, a shitstorm waiting to happen. Just like the Balkans in the early 20th century. I'm sure we all know how that turned out.
