Questions

• Who manages the Dat Project money?
  • Code for Science & Society
• How does Dat Project earn money?
  • Dat receives money from public support, grants, and donations. There are no services run by the Dat Project that charge and all the software is available for free.

Contractors

When Dat receives money, we often rely on independent contractors to do the work. Generally, these are managed by Code for Science & Society.

Random Contractor Notes

• We generally aim to pay $8k per month for full time work in development, design, or documentation. However, there are lots of things that may change this both on our side (grant requirements, funds availability, etc.) and the contractor side.

Todo: I'd like to post our default contract terms and related information to make it easier to onboard new folks.
