any ideas of how this would work. I'm thinking that participants would have
an obligation to respond to requests by either saying, 1) yes; 2) no 3)
deferring my contribution to another month. The contributions of those
saying yes, with a treshold of say EUR 500, would go to the requesting
project

to be decided by who?

that would be the p2pfoundation as a legal construct, and the people working
on maintaining the project, such as you Sam.

I'm not sure I understand this,  you mean offering collaboration on top of
the money?
