| It occurred to me that there where several things less than optimal about making me pay for elementary. I kind of hoped it would pay for the team, but they are volunteers?
First of all, it is not clear what the money is used for and why it is needed. This sentence from the teams page seems essential: "it takes a village to build an os" It is maybe also very slightly misleading that most of the application on the homepage such as geary, shotwell and midori are not elementary projects. Another thing is that the download button tries to make me pay and download at the same time. While I first want a "trial" download, and then pay afterwards without downloading again. I don't have a solution. I think splitting the payment to another button would make it less likely people click the "donation" button. An approach I have seen some projects take is basically advertising the download as an unlimited trial, and have a nagging window to make you pay. You are then allowed to pinky swear that you paid to make the window go away. In some cases kthulu comes to get you if you did not actually pay. Pepijn |
