I'm working on my guide, finishing it in a few years hopefully (writing takes time), and thereafter I will turn it into a real book and start selling copies. Depending on the price of the book, up to 50% of the surplus will go to the PR developer team. I wrote the developer-lead my book-plan some time back now.
I believe the book will be a useful donation, however, it will take time before it actually donate to the dev-team, cause writing simply takes time. At least to me it does. The book will be completely as the guide, minus videos and plus some extra content not deployed in the posted internet-guide.
Point with this post is to try and - well - point out I guess, that if you cant / wont button-donate, then perhaps you can think of donating in another way? Regardless of your age, your income and situation?
I started out thinking about my book back in 2005 / 2006. So far I've managed to complete around 30 - 50% of this challenge. The donation-part-idea, came to me much later, last year or perhaps in 2009? Cant remember - too many ideas ago.
Since I never really got a reply, just want to ask in public, if any developer has an opinion about this type of donation I'm working on?
I hope I don't sound ego-centric-focused, cause lots of people has donated, however, still, the idea of creating a book that is supposed to provide the developer team with money, is after all, a bit out of the average.
