memberships should be by dues #93

Right now membership is by simple PR. Dues are completely optional.

We should consider tying membership to dues. We would probably need to extend Gittip to make this happen while still using Gittip, but most naturally we would end up knowing that someone was paying dues without knowing how much exactly.

Why? It puts teeth to membership, for one. And also makes it clear that we're trying to get something economically viable going here.

Sounds excellent. If we're committed to proactive openness, we ought to be able to put our money where our mouth is.

@whit537 can we actually ask companies which are making membership payments? Seems that there is 50$ per week now but I'm not sure from what companies.
