General Software Discussion / Re: For Developers: Do Donations Make a Difference?

« on: September 06, 2005, 11:04 PM »

(1) Do donations from users make you want to work on pay more attention to a program, or not?

(2) If you get few or no donations, do you discontinue the program's development, no matter how good it is?

(1)
If there are several products, then donations help to determine, which of the products should be given preference - in development, updates, etc.
(2)
If you don't have a donations (1 yr and more), and also: feedback and web site traffic, you need to to conduct a special sociological study. Possibly, actually unsuccessful product idea?
