Hi Github,

When I look at https://github.com/sponsors/explore?account=ASSERT-KTH I don't find INRIA/spoon, which is a sponsorable organization with FUNDING.yml.

Why? How to fix this?

Thanks!

Hi @monperrus. The Explore page uses the dependency graph to determine who you can sponsor. INRA/spoons is definitely sponsorable via Open Collective through the FUNDING.yml file, but perhaps you don't have any repos that use them?

yes, that's good.

perhaps you don't have any repos that use them?

we do, see https://github.com/search?q=org%3AASSERT-KTH+spoon-core+language%3A%22Maven+POM%22&type=code&l=Maven+POM

for some reasons, Github does not consider them as sponsorable and does not propose spoon on https://github.com/sponsors/explore.

how to fix this?

Thanks @anjuan

Hi @monperrus ! As @anjuan said, the Github Sponsors Explore Page include a list of projects your accounts depend on, BUT it will only indicate which ones are eligible for GitHub sponsorship and therefore not external ones such as Open Collective.

But don't worry, you can easily become a sponsored developer by joining GitHub Sponsors.

Hope it helps you!

@hbakri we added a sponsorable Github org in FUNDING.yml

yet, the project is still not recognised as sponsorable: https://github.com/search?q=org%3AINRIA%20is%3Asponsorable&type=repositories

how to fix this?

thanks for your help!
