Most of the time, I'm expecting there to be a one-to-one relationship between the donation seeker and the primary project author/maintainer. This is a way of trying to monetise, slightly, maemo.org so that everyone who has an idea can still go the open source route with a possibility of making just a tiny bit of money. > http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/vim/ > > I see that you (together with Marius Gedminas) wrote this marvelous text > editor, which in my estimation took thousands of work hours, so I'll happily > donate to you. Does this sound fair? If we asked for a $1 donation, then yes - I think that's fair. Repackaging vim isn't free, after all, and it's an optional donation. Obviously it would be stupid of us to ask for a donation of $20 because: a) we didn't write vim and there'd be threads all over the place about it; b) no-one would donate Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Flegg -- mailto:and...@bleb.org | http://www.bleb.org/ _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
