Does anyone know if there is a way of supporting this project by other means of being a contributor of code, documentation, or anything related to programming?

Together with a friend we have contracted a developer to make a web app, and if we are successful we would like to give something back to this community. I believe, like many of you, that there are too many companies built on open-source solutions like this that does not give a single dime. (Please don't send me links to send BTCs. :-)) This is not the only technology this app will be using, and we will support the others projects too.

I did think of one way: paying our developer to work on the JSON Schema project too, but there are already well over 100 contributors here. Kudos to all of you for what you are doing.

Hi Huckleberry,

Funny you should ask. I've been sorting that out recently.

We have an Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/json-schema

That's the best way.

We're still working out some finer details in terms of company logos going in places as a result of sponsorship.

I also personally have a Ko-Fi page, and I'm now a member of the Github Sponsorship program, should you wish to give me personally any one off or recurring much smaller donations.

Let me know if you need any further info.

Cheers
Ben
