We don't have a business model and we don't need one. The only situation we'd need one is if we think that LT development will come to a stop unless we start paying developers. I don't see that happening. But I do see that progress is very slow due to the small number of people who contribute regularly. The natural solution to that is to find people who contribute regularly. But how? > LT is open source and people contribute time to the project. But, > time is not sufficient.

Web hosting costs have never been a problem, and paid advertising only makes sense once you have a business model or want to build one. > who are dissatisfied with (the current market alternative) The current market alternative for most users is "not using a text checker at all". > Refer also to my comments in > http://sourceforge.net/p/languagetool/mailman/message/34446200/ Your questions are valid, and my hope was that we find someone who supports us with marketing, just as we have people who care about language X. So far that didn't work and I don't understand why.
