Re: Thanks for donations


I don't think it would be a huge problem. I would put a nice description of each developers contributions on the donations page. I am sure that people would be able to figure out whom is most deserving of their praise.

To anyone who has made a donation: thanks!

I was able to get a new 120 GB 7200 RPM hard drive for my Linux computer this weekend, which was a nice upgrade from my constantly full 20 GB 5400 RPM drive. I have now setup a cross compiling environment again since I finally have the room to do so.

An interesting note about the drive: The drive is a $150 Maxtor 100 GB with "20 GB free" for 120 GB total... plus I got a $50 mail-in rebate, bringing the total price down to $100. Their actual 120 GB drive was $150 (no rebate) but had an 8 MB cache instead of a 2 MB cache. I figured that the cache would be nice, but it wasn't worth a 50% price increase.

Anywho, thanks again for the donations.

Just a question Harold, have you offered any donations to Kensuke or to Alexander for their work ?

Hasn't Harold suggested that people could contribute links for their own donations? I don't think it makes sense for someone to be attempting to dole out money. What would the criteria be? Better to let the users decide.


I understand your point, but who in the user community would know who
to donate too if there are multiple paypal accounts. Unless you read
CHANGELOG's the user community wouldn't know who to donate to.

Alan.
