Objectives:
-
Facilitate a transparent and fault tolerant community via collective ownership of
the-bort.com
. -
Record all revenue and expenses of
the-bort.com
to date, and continuing forward. -
Use communal resources to grow and hopefully rebuild what we lost better than it was. It’s an uphill battle given the losses suffered, but I also know most of yall out there are incredibly clever and kindhearted, so I am optimistic.
I’ve been asked the valid question, “If I donate, where does my money go?” I’m a better programmer than book keeper, so it’d be really nice if we could get a Bort Treasurer to help with this. In the meanwhile, here is a list of all costs and revenue to date.

These currently cost us 0 dollars a month, up to 10,000 emails. As of now, we have a while until we start paying for this. It could change in the future, but if it does that means we are growing substantially which is a good thing!
