a small proposal - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Albert FR

why not offer a donation system (like PayPal) on the site with a minimum reach to move faster to matters which seem essential to the community ?

Albert FR

it would be better than these are highlighted
I only had not seen before ...

perhaps a special page with all demands

Albert FR

a button on the forum and anywhere on sourcefabric ;)

Adam Thomas

Thanks for the feedback - we'll be redesigning sourcefabric.org in the very near future to make it more community-oriented and we'll consider adding more prominent links to this kind of thing.

We have a lot of different people using the site for a lot of different reasons - having donate buttons everywhere is not a good look for many of them, so achieving a balance is important.

Stay tuned for more announcements on the redesign. i'll start a thread soon asking for feedback on what you'd all like to see...

Hi Albert,

It was something I suggested a little while back, and indeed, even set up the infrastructure to manage: http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/comment/11390#Comment_11390

Perhaps it was too early before, but crowdfunding features is something I'd be interested to see if it works...

Adam Thomas

We have Paypal and Flattr buttons too of course... http://sourcefabric.org/en/community/joinus/524/Donate

Andrey Podshivalov

yes, but it's hidden for everyone (at least I was finding it on site about couple of mins) that's why Albert created this topic.

Albert FR

@andrey and @Adam perhaps can you highlight this thread ? for people reaction, no ? or do another one, more explicit :D

Albert FR

@Adam thank you !

Adam Thomas

And just fyi, the process for me building votable features on Fundry would be...

a) Finding two or three popular feature ideas
b) Getting a quote from the dev team on what it costs to build it
c) Enlisting all of your help to promote it!

Albert FR

effectively,

and http://fundry.com/project is really a good solution for starting asap ;)

I am curious if kickstarter would be useful. http://www.kickstarter.com/proposals/guidelines?ref=proposal

Adam Thomas

Fundry is specifically for software projects and therefore much better suited than Kickstarter (which I'm also a fan of). We added Airtime some time ago: http://fundry.com/project/147-airtime

The Airtime team is very busy this week working on 2.0, so once the dust has settled we'll draw up a small shortlist of features that are doable and we can see where that takes us. Our resources are of course limited, so we have to be careful and not promise something we can't deliver. Costing out a new feature also takes time too, and at the moment the priority is getting a bug-free Airtime 2.0 released.

Thanks for the support and ideas, great to see some enthusiasm behind this.

Albert FR

working well ;)
We have time (perhaps ;)
We waiting for fundry then

camerin

Thanks for the info. I hope to see an update on fundry soon. That service seems really cool.

Howdy, Stranger!
