Joseph,
I think better sources of information then the standard documentation is great and
very helpful for people
using Orion. I have sometimes great difficulties getting things sorted out to the
extend I'm wondering whether
I'm on the right track. Assuming I'm not the only one in that situation, I guess more
documentation and more
easy to understand examples is something a lot of (potential) Orion users will be
happy with (I wish the guys
of Orion lots of licence sales to be able to spend more resources on better
documentation).
On contributing: I'm on a tight budget as well. I'm afraid I can't contribute much
resources in helping you
running the site. I'm happy to contribute an odd example or so, but that is about it.
Further more I wouldn't be set off when you would accept ads. To be honest I think it
is good when
someone gets something more in return for a useful contribution then just a pad on the
sholder. On the
long run that works out better.
