Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action? (beehaw.org)

Currently, we have $6,500.91 in our hopper.

It just seems weird having all of those, mostly, unused funds sitting there doing nothing.

I just wanted to start the conversation about the possibility of paying-it-forward in some capacity. For example, a certain percentage of monthly contributions could go to a charity.

What are your thoughts?

I agree with everyone saying it should be used for things relating to Beehaw.

The plans to move to other platform are still ongoing, aren't they? I guess that would take time and resources...

Also, I know it's much work, but having another server in a different type of software wouldn't be a bad idea.

Or whatever you feel that would be useful, but the money donated for Beehaw should be used on Beehaw related things.
