Tldr: Implement organization level sponsorship

[zlatanvasovic]

Gotta keep up with the trends:

We're currently using Liberapay for this @zdroid? Ref #3102

Check in the post. There's a way to make the button appear on the organization level too, not only on the repo level.

Oh, nice! I must have misunderstood what you were referring to. It looks like it's GH sponsor exclusive though? At least the instructions for users of other things aren't clear

[zlatanvasovic]

@sbrl I'm not completely sure, since I am not experienced with the sponsorship workflow.

I think at the time we decided that organisation level sponsorship through GitHub Sponsors wouldn't work for tldr pages. 🤔 Also, just to flag up that because of this, we never joined the waitlist.

I guess if we did decide to use it, we could possibly set it up using the "Fiscal bank" option which allows you to forward to services like Liberapay as far as I can tell.

We should be able to get started through https://github.com/sponsors/tldr-pages/waitlist, however I'm not sure of the details that would be best to use. 🤷

@owenvoke This actually may be as easy as making a tldr-pages/.github repository with FUNDING.yml in it. Do you want to give it a try?

[owenvoke]

Repository created @zdroid (https://github.com/tldr-pages/.github), that is now showing the sponsors button across all our repositories, but not on the main org page.

[zlatanvasovic]

That's a good move forward. We may use that .github directory for other organization-level things as well. If the process of adding an org-level sponsorship is too hard / complicated, maybe we don't really need it.

[sbrl]

Ah, I didn't know about that .github repo thing. That's probably the best place to keep the sponsor button stuff I think.

I think at the moment the liberapay solution should work fine. We haven't gotten any sponsors yet though, so we'll have to wait and see :P

[zlatanvasovic]

Not worth the hassle. We already achieved 99% of the functionality by creating .github repository.
