  • Read more about the DonationCredits system.

2. Massive C++ Builder Donationware Programming Contest
  • In cooperation with Borland we have announced a 3 month programming contest with over $25,000 in prizes.  Winners will also receive a spotlight on our site.

As always, if you find any of these items (especially #3, the article) linkworthy, by all means please do submit it to slashdot, digg, stumbleupon, etc.

It would be nice if it had a larger audience.

See https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=3201.0 for a list of links of places that might be appropriate.
