We have two well received open source project for web related tools and we could attract a few sponsors via open collective. This means we now have a few bucks we would like to invest back into the community We thought about offering bounties and then letting users write invoices to our open collective so they can get paid. The questions would be: 1) Is offering bounties even worth it? 2) What range should a bounty be? min. 50$? 3) Write an invoice and get 100% of the money or use a system? 4) What systems are out there and which one would you recommend? The Open Source projects we are considering it for is: https://ift.tt/3bIp9Jm https://ift.tt/2QwnsFL
