And testing, documentation, bug triaging, icon design, user support, ...

However, you're now competing against the lure of a relatively
closed-source, fixed-price, have-to-pay app store. Where do you want
new development to go? I posit that a high-profile donation system
WILL be useful in keeping apps open source and surely that's best for
a "free software community"?

Cheers,
