<devil's advocate> Say I subscribe, and living in the US, the only reason I would is for the "voting" ability since I'm fine with the themes out there now (thanks Myxer!) and get the same program info for free. Anyway, what's to say the things I want to get funded... get funded? How does the list that we vote on get populated? Does LxM Suite decide on the ideas proposed and generate a short list? How much of my money goes into the "pay for dev" program? Surely it's not 100%, since LxM Suite is not a charity. The only thing that makes sense to me to pay for going forward, other than the voting thing, is actual data, like your podcast idea or some super-duper program info on steroids, or a better interface to manipulate my channel lineup, or heck, even a channel icon for each and every channel I have. I can't see paying for themes, there's so many out there. </devil's advocate> All that being said, I'm very happy that LxM Suite is throwing the code back. I wouldn't even consider subscribing if that wasn't the case.
