I was actually wondering about something similar to this for a different venture (say something like Uber).

What we need to have is a constant source of income (through donations or other mechanisms). The expenditure will be of two types, Capex and Opex. Capex costs can be covered by the donations, as for Opex, the primary issue is of support and maintenance. For this, my thought was to use either something like MTurk for non-tech activities and something along the lines of open source software development for tech activities.

I think, the world may need such a kind of open model for businesses, a self-sustaining entity.
