Eg domain, hosting and discourse fees. In 2024, I set up the PTA forum as an alternative to Reddit; see PTA forum news, 2024-03-18 and A trial of Discourse for Plain Text Accounting discussions and People who have used Reddit for more than 10 years, what is your current opinion on the site? (2026).
Simon Michael maintains and caretakes various PTA community resources, including the plaintextaccounting.org and forum.plaintextaccounting.org websites, the plaintextaccounting umbrella organisation on Github, the plaintextaccounting matrix space and chat room, and the #plaintextaccounting IRC channel.
The plaintextaccounting subreddit is managed by Colin Dean.
John Wiegley kicked off the plain text accounting movement with Ledger. Martin Blais created the popular Beancount. Some guy made hledger, and so on. Many folks worked hard to make plain text accounting possible. You can find the project home pages at PTA apps.
See the fee info at hledger.org.
