Community Driven Solidus
summary
Solidus now runs under a loose nonprofit, community-driven structure with 16 active stakeholders and two inactive founders, weekly open meetings, votes announced a week ahead and simple-majority rules with absentee voting; W Lab acts as the paid community organizer doing design and event work. Finances flow through Open Collective transparency, anyone can submit expenses, and joining requires sustained contributions (three+ GitHub contributions, an extension maintainer, or donating). Popularity rises even as paid maintenance falls and development slows.
