For better or for worse, I have just about given up on the general donation solicitation for all of the free work I do with my plugins. Maybe I am just doing it wrong though. :)
I had a thought this morning. Maybe I could use Dropcash for feature ransoms or something similar. In other words, I could setup a fundraiser for a highly requested feature, and when the monetary goal (which would not be a large one, maybe around $50-$100 or so) of the fundraiser is reached, I would implement the feature.
It's just a thought. What do you folks think?
Update: Looks like Chad has already put up his first feature ransom for MT-Notifier, and from what he tells me, he has already exceeded the ransom. Congrats, Chad!

Sounds like a good idea. I just wish I had some extra cash floating around to support all of the awesome MT developers.
I like it - been thinking of something comparable, but hadn't gotten all the way to specific requests. That's sweet.
