I agree. What if someone writes a wonderful media framework for Maemo and someone else a little GUI frontend. The latter is user visible (user section), the first is not but the latter gets all the donations. > why no including both things? maemo.org/download button and > About-->Donate if the application has a gui. > It would make sense for me.... I think we need some integrated feedback application for: * rating packages * sending bug reports and feature request which automatically include the installed version number and the dependencies * integration with crash-reporter * showing a detailed description (incl. the dependencies) * giving quick access (opens a browser window) to - a donation button (paypal link) - screenshots or the maemo.org/downloads page - the project webpage most of the information is already in the package lists or on maemo.org. maybe those features could be simply added to the existing AppWatch or PackageRate?. Adding the donation box to the details window in Application manager would be an alternative, but IMHO the design of the Application manager is not well suited for that: you would first click uninstall to donate for an installed app!? (I prefer synaptic/aptitude/dselect style programs anyway...) just my 2¢, -- Thomas Tanner ------ email: [email protected] GnuPG: 1024/5924D4DD _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
