How about creating a knowledgebase and charging a subscription fee for that for 
public non members ( 1$ paypal per answer ) – with an option for free knowledge 
base if you contribute…..kinda like jigsaw.com
 
You can get free contacts if you give free contacts….if you need contacts then 
it’s a buck and won’t give any thens it’s a cost.  FAQ’s older than 90 days get 
posted for free to draw new people.  Builds over 6 months old get the same 
treatment…..and on and on …
 
I believe in open source but to many people take and don’t give back…..this is 
a way to mediate that.  Each new release = more FAQ’s it’s a round robbin thing.
 
So start a knowledge base and if the user answers FAQ’s then they get to see 
Faq’s.  If you’re a newbie, then learn and motor into the knowledgebase and 
answer – everyone mediates answers like wiki with edit abilities.  You can do 
the same with making build samples – platform info and such…
 
If no one likes this idea then pretend I never sent it.  I spent too many years 
as a FAE J

Subject: Re: [Red5] what about a financial donation
 
Waaaayyyyy back... we had talks of donations and I think we all agreed that 
anything helps.  There were reasons why we didn't do it though.  I actually 
have those original emails.  I'll see if I can post some notes on the subject.  
However, maybe we could re-evaluate those.

What about a financial donation from the list to push Red5 even harder?

Let's say if 500 ppl volunteer to donate $50,-....That's $ 25000,- 
Maybe with that money download servers and "spare time" of the developers
can be financed.

Gr,
Ruben
