I think that would be very acceptable. It should be clear however how much is required and for what. The ChipIn system makes this possible. I see some developers asking for donations to continue/speed-up development. But pay-palling like that doesn't make clear how much is comming in and what is achieved. (Of course I know developing / maintaining a module is very time consuming - but doing it this way (specifying funding required vs setting target) keeps things transparant.)

Specifically, I'm reaching a point in DHTML Menu (http://drupal.org/project/dhtml_menu) where beside bug reports I often see requests for some pretty substantial features, which admittedly would be very cool, but would also take a lot of development time. I currently develop and maintain this module in my free time. It would be great if I could fix bugs for free but use donation drives to sponsor new features. That would probably be better than selling customizations directly, because it is less expensive to individual customers. Do you have any suggestions or criticism on this idea? :) Cheers, -Arancaytar -- Arancaytar ---------------------- Nothing beside remains: Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away... ---------------------- PGP: http://ermarian.net/downloads/0x27CA5C74 XMPP: arancaytar.ilyaran@gmail.com AOL: 282026638 @icq / RealArancaytar @aim URL: http://ermarian.net
