Funding this endeavor?

Is there like a fund for this game? I'm not opposed to throwing in a few bucks from time to time so that the dev guys can have the finest caffeinated products at their disposal.

One way of funding it is by placing bounties on goals:

A question to developers: is there another way besides bounties to fund this game?
Ive had a little raise (+E200/month, yaaaay) and I'd like to donate E50. It aint much, and I dont know for what bounty or how I place money on a bounty. Isnt there a bankaccount that is held by a reliable person in regard to OpenRa?

Or can we support servers?
Or buy ads to promote OpenRa?

https://github.com/ihptru manages our servers. If I understand correctly, the last service outage was caused by unpaid bills. Talk to him in IRC. See
http://www.openra.net/community/ on how to get there.

A fun idea, I had just now: give a shoutout on servers when people pay for them.
"This server has been brought to you by user [NAME]!"

Zoidberg plays OpenRA everyday and wants to make this happen.
1) I buy a server through a hosting company and pass along the details to an admin
https://www.godaddy.com/pro/managed-vps
Would something like this work?
2) Somebody provides me with details on how to contribute to the cost of an existing server
Thanks,
Zoidberg

I've sent you two both a Personal Message with the email of Glenn. He codes for OpenRa and pays for servers, which is about E40,- per month. Not sure which servers he has running. Perhaps also try to contact Geert Johan? He has several servers running as well.
Maybe there will come a ticker for (server) donations.
Also if you want specific things to be coded you can set up bounties.

I would suggest contributing a bounty to a small, specific feature you'd like to see. Large features and very general features are difficult to implement, and may not be seen for a long while.
For example, donate to an issue about there being no Jumppack infantry in TS. Do not pay for the general "Ra2/TS" ticket, as it will not be fixed in the order that you might like, and it is much more difficult for the devs to distribute the money that way.
