What's the best way to sponsor Drigg?
Hi,
Drigg is a lot of work. Kevin was a godsend, literally. However, the problem remain: what's the best way to sponsor Drigg?
We have a few ideas in the pipeline. Mind you, we don't _need_ sponsorship to develop Drigg. The current codebase is solid and easy to understand, and there are already two more people familiar with its code. So, if I quit tomorrow, the project would slow down - especially initially - but eventually it will pick up again.
However, knowing that I am paid at least a little bit for the work I put in would be nice.
Bounties are a good idea -- in theory. In practice, it's messy. People tend to request absurd bounties for $200 or $300 dollars. Small or minuscule startups don't have money to pay. I charge $60/hour for custom Drupal customisation work (and that's _cheap_). A small feature takes about 4 hours to develop and 6 hours to test (yes, that's right. That's why Drigg is not buggy, I suppose...). When you tell anybody that a small bounty will cost $600, they will say "no thank you, I'll just wait".
And that's not it. I have recently spent around 30 hours re-organising and re-writing Drigg's code. That didn't achieve anything. In fact, at best it will give people a few headaches (it's such a major job... and it shows). But that's not even bounty-able.
I think a possible path is a "retainer". If you sue Drigg for your site, then pay (by paypal) $20, $50 or $100 dollars per month (depending on what you can afford). FSDaily, a popular Drigg site (and in fact one of the most popular Digg-like sites out there) will certainly enter the arrangement.
So, if you use Drigg, why woud you want to pay $20/month? (Especially when there would be so many other people who use Drigg and don't pay a dime!). I obviously need to offer something in exchange.
What I can do, is this:
* $100/month: gold sponsors. If you are one, Drigg will publish your site's name, link and short blurb in Drigg's home page.
* $50 and $20/month: silver sponsors. If you are one, Drigg will publish your site's name, link and short blurb in a "sponsor" page.
I will also reroute a portion of the money to other fellows Drigg developers who join or have joined me.
It's important that all the donations are basically recurring Paypal charges; otherwise, the time it takes to _manage_ this will become more expensive than its benefits! (Unless you want to wire 1 year in advance, which would be fine too ...!)
Now... you are part of the Drigg community. What do you think? Do you think such an arrangement would work? Would you pay to get into it? If not, do you have an alternative arrangement in mind?
The Drigg community is growing every day. Maybe Drigg has now reached the critical mass to make something like this possible...
Yours,
Merc.

I opine that there is not a good idea to compose the argumentative essay by your own efforts! I think, this would be more comfortable to buy the term paper from media essay writing service, because it saves free time.

Your topic referring to this post seems to be cool and a lot of scholars will utilize this for their thesis topic. And some of people permanently use the support of thesis service.

You know that you would work in dissertations or essay writing services, because some people like to know the good enough stuff just like this post or thesis writing so, they buy research papers on line.
Best Way to Sponsor Drigg!!!!
Drupal offers a sophisticated programming interface for developers, no programming skills are required for basic website installation and administration. imagine that it would be much easier to keep updates going on the Drupal 5 side of Drigg, and then port to Drupal 6 as the main system.THanks for sharing this information....
