Another Loomio group I’m in has been discussing opencollective.org. Ayone here had direct experience of it?

OpenCollective charge a percentage to use there host. Social.coop was using this OpenCollective host, but we recently teamed up with another org to reduce the fee.
@roryridleyduff be sure to propose to team up with social.coop if Platform 6 becomes a host...

The thing that looked attractive is that you can enable subgroups to share use of a PayPal account. In the past, people in Keyna, Nigeria and Eastern Europe have started discussions on a local group. Would opencollective.org be suitable for that?

Hi Rory. I'm guessing perhaps that you are referring to the posts I've made in the Platform 6 development group. I've spoken now with Xavier (one of the co-founders of OpenCollective), and his brother Dimitri who is running the UK chapter. I'm also interested in other people's take on this, if anyone had had experience. I know that https://social.coop uses it. If Platform 6 is to use it, and I'm in process of setting that up as a firm proposal) then we can offer a better rate for projects and organisations that want to come in under our 'umbrella'. It would be great if Fairshares wanted to do that - you could be one of our first!
