When will there be a Kbin Foundation that:

  1. collects and handles money to help build Kbin (right now I don’t see a single “donate” button)
  2. owns any property of Kbin (like domain and git), so that the board of the foundation can decide what’s done with it if ernest kicks the bucket or goes insane
  3. has a board that can make decisions about Kbin to spread power from one person to many?

@ernest
I don’t even know how pinging works :)

I’ll gladly become a donor when I see that Kbin will not be a one-guy-show for long, but a serious project that will outlive it’s creator. If ernest is not actively planning to have this project live even without himself, then I bet it’s not going to last.

Please comment any thoughts you have, and have a nice summer!

    Having a foundation/non-profit is easy and virtually free of fees. Small-time hobbyist sports clubs of like 10 people often have a nonprofit to manage the (small) finances of the group where I live. Kbin has potential to be a very big player in the post-reddit times, with millions of users. I don’t know what ernest does for living but it wouldn’t take much money to pay him full-time for Kbin development, but that would be the kind of expenses I was thinking (and later small-time marketing)
