A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

A paid membership to vote on changes and additions to the program. I think that would be pretty beneficial honestly.

So instead of a free vote you only get a paid vote?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is there a free vote now? Have I somehow missed this?

accepts outside contributions already

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure but those contributors don’t have a functional role in managing the project. This idea seems clearly distinct from the status quo.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

They do? in fact they dictate almost the entire project, that's how open source works

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't need a co-op for that. Just fork it and make the changes.

[–] Rebels_Droppin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

True, you can. But for people who may not have the skill or time but still value the browser, I think it isn't a bad idea. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Then pay someone who does have the time and skill to fork it and make the change you want.
