Teflpedia talk:Treasury

Sharing costs
Hi Bob, here's an idea how we might present site costs and financing on wiki for all to see. I'm thinking we might as well be open book about this if we want to encourage community participation in and donations. If the Teflpedia community, some percentage of the 27,000 monthly unique site visitors, can feel like they know and own these costs, they may be willing to help pay them and in doing so feel more ownership of their community roll in the project. After all, it is a pretty quiet place for one with 27,000 monthly unique visitors and we could do with some crowd sourcing, yes?

I'm not sure "Teflpedia:Treasury" is the right name for this page, but it's what comes to mind and I think it could be right. Especially if a surplus were to accumulate, which would be very nice, and could be openly and transparently documented here. Got other page name suggestions?

 * Hi Roger. Looks like a good way to go.
 * Do I understand that you've made a 10 dollar payment to test the system?
 * I'd imagine that the non-profit issue isn't a big one for us yet. Especially as I'm based in Spain.--Bob M 14:38, 7 February 2013 (CST)


 * No, I have not made a 2013 donation, but I think doing so would make good sense to get us started and I will. Yes, let's discuss on this "talk" page. --Roger 14:41, 7 February 2013 (CST)
 * Sorry I misunderstood your 10 dollar reference on the article page.
 * Perhaps a banner with a target value and a count down as (or if) payments are received?--Bob M 16:10, 7 February 2013 (CST)
