Pierre-Luc Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I'm committed to make all my PW modules MIT licensed for the sake of seeing PW become more well-rounded, but it would be a nice touch to be able to link my Stripe/PayPal account to receive donations. Is that something you guys are interested in? I wouldn't mind putting in some time to add that feature on the website if desired.
dazzyweb Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I mentioned this a while back here https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8486-supporting-processwire-module-authors/ but there didn't seem to be much interest in this. I haven't currently released any modules but appreciate others that have taken the time to make and support them and have at times wanted to give at least some beer money to the authors. I think it helps to keep the spirit of open source alive and gives appreciation to those that have used their own time to share and support their modules. 2
horst Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) If someone want to give something for modules that I have shared, I would much appreciate if he/she donate something for children or children's projects where he/she lives. There is no better investment than our children and it makes good spirit and good karma! Edit: just to clarify: By "our children" I mean all (our) children! Edited February 18, 2015 by horst 5

Pierre-Luc Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 @dazzyweb, I just saw your discussion, sorry about that! Well, instead of adding the feature natively, we could just as well have a link in the top-left menu where documentation/support links are. Leave it up to the dev to create his own donation process if they want.. I think that'd be plenty! 5
Mont Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I wouldn't find anything wrong with a link or button linking to a donation page. In fact I encourage it if it keeps you producing modules to enhance PW. In fact, the latest dev branch that has the imaging cropping tools made me want to donate something to Ryan. 2
Nico Knoll Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 @Mont: Just buy the profields. It's a win-win 3
Pierre-Luc Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 There's way more than that.. AIOM+, Shop for ProcessWire and other very useful plugins deserve some support to stay afloat without becoming "Pro" fields..
apeisa Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I don't believe in donations at all. If you want money from module, make it commercial. Of course there are plenty of possibilities regarding licensing, like making it free for personal usage. 1
Mont Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I bought Profields and ProForms during the Black Friday Sale. It was a win win considering the time saved. Another thing I could always do is to remember the person who created a plugin or module and then when i need something similar, contract that developer to create a module/plugin for me. This is something that makes me appreciate the work that went into building the developer directory. 1
