I will be really interested to see what comes of this as the whole situation regarding the lack of financial support for developers disgusts me quite frankly. I think people should get paid for their time and effort and currently the donations system is a joke because every one loves to take but are not so inclined to give, even when they are using something invaluable.
The whole argument about community also annoys me. Community works together and at the moment its all very one sided. No one can tell me its asking to much to donate one euro or one dollar and if the community did we would have full time devs working on free, professional quality apps with no worries cause they would be loaded and the community would be better off a a whole. Such is human nature I guess.
@Boone Georges , the post you quoted is an excellent read iand I think I will have to read it at least x3 before I can digest all those points of view!
How to rectify the situation? Well, that is a tough one though recently I have seen more “premium” plugins appearing and worth every penny they are as well (at least the ones I have bought are), though that’s alot more cost than a donation would ever have been.
I will be knocking about to see how this discussion progresses and if any ideas are bought up which have merit!
