+## 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.
