The idea here is that it's a lot easier to get people to contribute $10/month to every open source  project they work with than it is to get them to contribute $5/month for a specific project. The subscription revenue will be distributed based on the amount of time users spend reading documentation of the respective project which I anticipate will correspond well with actual use. So if a user spends 10% of their time reading the Twisted documentation, you get 10% of the subscription revenue.

This would be a passive income source that doesn't require any further work outside of the initial integration.

We'd definitely be interested in this, but you probably want to contact the Software Freedom Conservancy - https://sfconservancy.org/about/contact/ <https://sfconservancy.org/about/contact/> - to work out the details of how this might work financially.

Thanks for reaching out!
