Where can we find expense information? I just donated but I would love to see transparent financial data. Maybe it’s already out there I just couldn’t find it…
There are frequent updates in https://beehaw.org/c/support
There are some excellent updates on finances posted by the mods. They do a very good job of keeping us informed. When I started Beehaw’s server was $12 or so per month. Moving up to the $18 or so per month version was a big deal. With the influx from Rexxit they’ve expanded the server something like 7 times, and are now at the $55 or so per month level. Last I remember, they said we have $600 or so in reserves, so Beehaw is sitting pretty for a few months.
I would assume the influx will continue and the server will need to increase again.
On the open collective, you can see all the expenses we pay. Worth noting that the current upgrades to hosting this month are not account for.
This month we expect our hosting costs to be between 96$ and 336$ because we're being prorated on Digital Ocean and trying to scale to keep the site running smooth.
Thanks for the response! Glad to be supporting the community. Thanks for all you do.
