Hey @otar,

Keen to learn more about how you are approaching this experiment and whether we could collaborate.

I’ve been proposing an open source contributor funding process recently - [https://funding.contributors.org/](https://funding.contributors.org/)

The forum post I made is here - [Open Source Contributor Funding Experiment - Open proposal](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/open-source-contributor-funding-experiment-open-proposal/9543)

The setup for this experiment might get funding from W3F - [Web3 Association - Open source contributor funding experiment setup by lovegrovegeorge · Pull Request #2370 · w3f/Grants-Program · GitHub](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/2370)

Could we organise a chat? My main thoughts would be that it would be great to find out how we can best capture some insightful data from these experiments to identify any problems or opportunities with these different approaches.
