I haven't used Clojure for anything yet, but I've really liked your recorded presentations--they've already had an effect on how I program. I also would love to see an open source project like this be able to survive on contributions from individual developers so I've donated.
While I appreciate that you don't want to force anyone to contribute, I think it might be a good idea to incentivize it. Maybe have some screencasts, forums, or additional information available only to contributors. If someone can't afford to contribute money maybe they can contribute some code, documentation, or a screencast to get access. Admittedly, it might be difficult to find the right mix of "free" and "premium" content to not alienate new users while still encouraging donations. You might also want to have a list of donors displayed prominently (if the individual donor is okay with it). Everyone can contribute something, it doesn't have to be money. I don't see anything wrong with making contributing an expectation even if it's not a requirement. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
