Hi Mac,
I'm serious. :) Thank you!
Per Richard, I sent out a note to `opensuse-kde' [1] to see how much
interest is out in the community. As you rightly point out, the
handful of us isn't sufficient to fund the development. However, if
slightly less than 50% of those who voted for the enhancement were to
chip in under 14 USD, we'd be able to fund 16,000 USD. That's 50 USD
per hour x 8 weeks @ 40 hours per week. Not buckets of dollars but I
think enough to generate interest.
Perhaps the end result will be a big fat zero: we want it free but
don't ever wish to pay for it. :)
As Richard rightly notes, if the proposed model works, perhaps there's
a way to fund future OSS development.
Cheers,
-pablo
