Add `funding_uri` metadata field to gemspec #3060

colby-swandale · 2019-12-30T03:44:43Z

Description:

I want to add a new metadata field to the gemspec called funding_uri for the purpose of linking a page which users can view on how to donate to/sponsor gem authors.

With the introduction of Github Sponsors, Tidlelift, Open Collective & Patreon, donating or sponsoring a developer is now super easy and streamlined. I hope by adding this field to accomplish a number of goals:

Similar to npmjs.org, we add a button/ui element to the gem page on rubygems.org to link visitors to the given donation uri.
Encourage tooling to be built to list information about how to donate to gem authors for a given Gemfile, Gemfile.lock. (similar to the new npm fund command Add fund subcommand npm/cli#273)
Encourage more maintainers to signup and receive sponsorship for their work

Tasks:

Describe the problem / feature
Write tests
Write code to solve the problem
Get code review from coworkers / friends

I will abide by the code of conduct.

I am lost, what exactly is failing here?

Master is failing, it's unrelated to this change. I'll fix it today.

gjtorikian · 2020-01-20T18:45:28Z

Ah, I opened a very similar process in rubygems/rfcs#22 for a Bundler change. Great minds etc etc.

I wanted to ask, would you mind if the argument here was changed from donation_uri to funding_uri? The reason is as follows:

Donation has the implication of sounding like a gift, something that is not mandatory. I think larger businesses in particular need to wrap their heads around the idea that while open source is free as in beer, there is a very real mental/time cost to the maintainers running the projects. Asking for donations implies that maintainers are willing to keep doing the work for free, and any monetary contribution is "just nice". By now, all of us recognize that our work has value--otherwise companies wouldn't build businesses using the gems we give away. We should be more confident in stating that, yeah, money is actually pretty useful for us to survive.
Funding has the implication that you're actually supporting a project; it is a continuous act that recognizes the value of the work and the importance of it for the person giving the money. I think sponsorship_uri gets this point across, too; but funding also aligns exactly with NPM's terminology, and as much as possible, open source communities across languages should unite on this cause.

Thanks @colby-swandale!

Just wondering, do I expect to see this on the sidebar on rubygems.org?

We haven't added a button to RubyGems.org yet. PRs welcome.
