Xavier,

XOS sounds interesting to me. If you release XOS, and it is all that you say it is, I would certainly donate to help keep it going. The non-object oriented nature of RunRev is one of the things about it that bothers me a bit, so anything that pushes it in that direction is a plus for me. Being a hobbyist, I don't see a need to donate without having something to show for it. I don't doubt your good intentions, but it was tough enough for me to scrape together the fee for my RR license renewal. Given this, I won't be donating until I have something usable from you. If funding is what you need to get you working on XOS, then I hope that you are able to find it.

Your other tools look very nice and I will give at least PropsN2O a try soon. Maybe the excuse of trying a neat tool will get me coding again instead of just thinking about it. I have no problem paying a suggested donation or shareware fee to a PayPal account for something that I do use.

As for feedback from users, I think that asking for donations to a PayPal account would give you some feedback. If you don't get any donations, then you could take the feedback to mean that people either don't value your work or that you just haven't advertised it enough. Of course there are other interpretations as well, such as people just don't feel that the amount you are asking for is right, etc. Given the the fact that RunRev add-ons/sample code is mostly freely shared in the community, asking for a donation from users is likely to be more successful than shareware. Make sure to put something in the readme file as well as in the about box. I don't always look at about boxes, but I always at least glance at readme files.

I'm not sure what needs to be done to get more links added to other RunRev user sites. As a user who occasionally looks for such sites, I would love to see more links.
