Re: Not much but...

Not flying to Paris for lunch? ;-) Thanks, but actually it's your lunch. It's our sponsoring fund. Since you posted publicly I want to thank you publicly. $5 may not seem a glamorous amount, but it puts you in an elite handful of people who have donated. In the last two days aside from people getting the new version from their distro we've had 60 new downloads of Kommander source and 30 of my dataform creator. We show on other counters 7000 downloads of a development version and 30,000 downloads of source code. That doesn't include distro kdewebdev packages. I really don't want to say how much less than one percent of those actually donate.
Have a look here http://www.kde-apps.org/index.php?xcontentmode=288 and you will find over 150 use submitted Kommander programs. (There are more posted before there was a category for them.) The 3 most downloaded have over 137,000 downloads together and the two highest rated show #22 and #23 rankings out of tens of thousands of apps. All of this proves to me Kommander is well worth supporting, and even if you don't have an itch to build something with it you probably will find someone has already scratched your next itch with Kommander.
If 1% of the people enjoying Kommander were as generous as you I could stop worrying about the long term retention of core sponsored developers. Thanks so much for your contribution. |
