[QUOTE="woddog, post: 376687, member: 61110"] Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I have a question for the developers and users of this great freeware software. I know donating is optional because of the open source nature of the program, which is all good. But, do you think it a good idea to have a system where if someone donates a certain $, the bugs that affect them, get a higher precedence to fix? Stress: Bug fixes, no feature requests. Example: User A donates 20 Euros, User A really gets bugged by the broken DVD playback (example) and they check it on a page listing bugs when they donate. This donation AND the amount he/she donates determines the priority level the developers devote to the bug. Basically, the more that is donated, the greater time/resources are spent devoted to fixing the bug. Say a new donator pushes their bug up 10 points of priority, 10 Euros 10 extra points, 100 Euros 100 points etc I think it would encourage donations and perhaps more importantly, new donations. I know I haven't donated yet, I would really like to, and I think this system will make myself and others do the same. Thoughts????? Be gentle:) [/QUOTE]
