Yes! We will make it very, very easy for you to purchase paid time for a friend, whether that friend has an account yet or not, and we have lots of ideas about how to make it easy for you to find friends who are in need of paid time. We're also planning on putting in a "random active user sponsorship" -- something where you'll be able to buy a paid account for a random active user even if you don't know them, for people who want to give us extra money but don't have any friends who need the paid time. The spec for that can be found here: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211 We'll also implement actual gift certificates, or "Dreamwidth points", that will allow you to essentially give a DW gift card to someone else. The spec for that is here: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135 Assume, in general, that we *want* to find ways to make it easy and painless to give us money, and we want to deliver you really great service in exchange for what you pay us! --D -- Denise Paolucci [email protected] Dreamwidth Studios: Open Source, open expression, open operations. Coming April 30! _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
