Hi all, I just had a quick question:
- What is Jenkins stance on developers accepting donations/payment for providing a Jenkins plugin? I think there's an argument to be made, for allowing developers to put a "donate" button, on the wiki page of the plugin they contributed to (I wouldn't mind someone shouting me a coffee!). Jenkins itself, is no stranger to accepting donations <https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Donation>. I had a quick look in the forums and websites, I couldn't find anything condoning or condemning the practice. Some things to take consider: - it may be a slippery slope changing the core nature of community plugins (e.g. developers only delivering features/fixing bugs for paid work) - is this a bad thing? Bugs will get fixed faster if someone is bankrolling work, as opposed to whenever "I get a free minute". - things may get murky with multiple developers (i.e. who get's what?) - can we "advertise" (links to donations directly on the Jenkins wiki/github/elsewhere?) Thoughts? Is this the right place to ask? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
