Open Collective

The opencollective/opencollective repository serves as the coordination hub for Open Collective’s open-source ecosystem, acting primarily as the central place to track issues, RFCs, and project-wide documentation rather than being a single monolithic application codebase. Open Collective itself is a platform that helps communities and open-source projects raise funds while sharing finances transparently, and this repo functions as the “front door” for discussion and governance across the wider set of services. It aggregates key organisational materials such as policies, contribution guidelines, community guidance, and postmortems, making it easier for contributors to understand how the project runs and how decisions are made. It also points developers to the split codebase architecture, where major components like the API, frontend, image service, PDF export service, and REST service live in separate repositories.
