How about some cool features that DC could add/host:

  • E-Mail Provider
  • Website Hosting
  • Socialization (So things like Facebook Login, Social Media Sharing etc...would get a huge boost in people coming in from those sources)
  • Document Hosting (I guess something like Google Docs)
  • A new Homepage (It hasn't been updated in forever)
  • A complete selection of EVERY piece of Software ever created on/for DonationCoder (A lot of stuff is probably lost on page 382749832 of Coding Snacks lol)


Mail provider? More headaches that it's worth, we don't need it, and there are plenty of other places you can go if you need an email service.

Website hosting? The member server already serves that purpose, while also causing mouser enough headaches.

Socialization? Perhaps it would be better to wait for DoCo 2.0.

Document hosting? Why?

A new homepage? Planned as part of Doco 2.0. ;)

An all inclusive software repository that will list every app ever made here, dragged up from the depths of the forum, aka a DoCo software repository? I offered to do that, and it would have been done already, but mouser rejected it, opting instead to make it part of DoCo 2.0.

Better - a Ninite (https://ninite.com/) like software that will help you download or update software you mentioned so you don't have to search for it ... Far fetched, but it would be nice thing to have ...

We already have DCUpdater, but it requires devs to at the very least create a text file and include it with their app (and host a copy) for it to work for updating, and giving a copy to mouser for inclusion with the Updater app, for installing from the "Available for Installation" tab.

In the spirit of 3 Stooges.. how about some animation where you can donate x amount of DC Dollars and in return some Troll with your avatar in place of its head, pastes Mouser with a cream pie?   :D

Coding such a thing is beyond my experience.  I would think some kind of gif animation?

How about releasing 3652 helium balloons all with little pieces of paper attached with DonationCoder promo material printed on it?  ;D

The ultimate idea would be a DC meetup. Not saying it's realistic though :D

If I could afford the £3000 it would cost me to visit the states for a meetup...I would be there :P

What about a game where a winner gets a signed (by Mouser/or whoever the boss is around here) DC's logo pic?
What about a game where a winner gets a huge cake with 10 Years of DC written on it?
What about an origami contest where a winner (an origami, not the person who made it) becomes a base for the new logo?
What about a game where Mouser and others make a software (released on Anniversary day) where winner's name is included in the name of the software? Like X's torrent client (where X is the name  :) ) (or at least a winner can propose a name of the software)?

I like the idea of a special 10th Anniversary Mug.  :up:

Perhaps it could feature a drawing of Cody with a long beard and walking with a cane, showing his age.  ;D

Hello !

Cody is just 10 years old. What is he carrying a cane for ?

Regards,

Anand

I just hope the fine for littering has a group rate.  :)

How about something like a special print issue magazine featuring a lot of the cool stuff that has happened over the years here at DC?  Edit it like an actual publication and allow people to purchase it (So it doesn't end up costing mouser anything to provide).

Similar to Perry's idea  ;) - where were you and what were you doing in March 2005?
