+## Questions and answers
+
+-   Q: This seems to assume that there will be $ contributions
+    commensurate with the value of the project vs. everyone freeloading
+    becuase there is no incentive to pay
+    -   A: This concept of economy will make all participants
+        stakeholders, so there is an incentive to pay. There are a
+        number of open questions, though, as this idea is new.
+-   Q: Are you aware of projects like OpenQ (<https://www.openq.dev/>)?
+    Would that fit the model in your opinion?
+    -   A: not familiar with OpenQ
+-   Q: I see incredible amounts of overlap with the SourceCred system
+    <https://sourcecred.io/> , where attribution of antecedents, graph
+    of contributions, fair-in-hindsight backpropogation is built-in. Are
+    you aware of SourceCred?
+    -   A: not very familiar with it
+-   Q: How is this different from money? Not in some abstract ownership
+    vs attribution way. Open source funding is an incentive problem,
+    which this does not change as far as I can see.
+    -   A: money can be revisited in the future but maybe not
+        immediately.
+-   Q: How would you approach a viable experiment?
+    -   A: we have a Github Action that automatically creates the
+        boilerplate of files and directories needed for the accounting.
+        Further development through dialog because of the many questions
+        open
+-   Q: Given that the oversight is a social process, how do you
+    constrain the cognitive and time burdens of deciding the values of
+    attributed contributions?
+    -   A: we start with simple heuristics and first tackle the majority
+        of issues
+-   Q: How are the attribution amounts calculated? (ORGA NOTE:  restored
+    from a prior version; welcome to remove if this was your question
+    and you removed it intentionally)
+    -   A:
+-   Q: What are your assumptions about human nature vis. self interest
+    vs. altruism?
+    -   A:
+-   Q: URL of the project?
+    -   A: <https://github.com/drym-org/foundation>
+    -   <https://github.com/drym-org/old-abe>

+## Feedback

+- Thanks. Love your license.
+- cue up a marxist analysis, and then shut down the proletariat? :D
+- If I was being told that this man is one of Protesilaos' long lost siblings, I would believe it.
