Hi I'm Honoured Herman, and I was going to donate my self even though I have as yet no need for the Widget - but I have donated many times before when I think someone has done something that has to be acknowledged in some way.
To be honest I was thinking of getting a gofundme type of theme and use that - so we don't give x percent to gofundme. - and the hoops you have to go through to assign money. I Also think we shouldn't just make it a developers fund (please agree or disagree) but make it a fund where we can have a survey of what we think LC should work on and fund it to get it working - and hold their feet to the fire - I'm still waiting for the SQLITE library .... May 2016 - "We will deliver the project within a three month window on successful completion of the campaign."), e..g.Bluetooth, more examples of the FFI. I'm hoping from what I surmise that LC for Filemaker looks like it is bringing in the money for programmer expansion so anything useful to us is useful to the FM group and maybe this might not bee needed soon - but again we don't have to be dogmatic about this. If we can get a coiterie of 100+ people together who could just send $5 a month and increase that to $10 if we have an urgent need (whether a programming need or even a "Programming Colleague in Distress" we could come to an agreement as to how to use the funds. THis could maybe after 6 months have enough to crowd fund Herman's wish "If it were possible to have *direct access* to JS in LCB (not via a broser widget) and if also base64coding were available then we could have kind of an image processing app in a widget!! All I would need is such an access to mBrowser: all but the native display, so that HTML5 is working. (I tried to manipulate the browser widget but had problems with the native display.)" I think we need to open a paypal account to keep the money in and give access to more than one person - can you get joint ones? - - you never know we still have buses on our roads! If we go the "programmer Aid" route we could use https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/not-for-profit. Or we could do both? WDYT is this too much pie in the sky or shall we just do the Programmer fund? I for one think money just sitting there doing nothing waiting for a rainy day isn't doing anyone any good. I could setup a webpage with the "manifesto" on it and we can tweak until we agree - It may be that Herman's simple idea is best but I'm just putting this out there. Kindest Regards Lagi p.s. On high note - I have noticed a few of posts on the forum/uselist from Sean (Pi) Cole who we helped with the gofundme initiative and that makes me feel very happy. It would be nice if we can get any feedback as to the status of Sean's project and did he manage to salvage something - over to you Sean.
