Even though Mephisto is used literally by hundreds nay thousands of blogs and custom websites on the internet very few people feel the need to contribute actual money to this excellent project. </p> <p> I know that Rick and Justin are passionate about Open Source software, but passion alone doesn't make software. It is constant work, to track down and eliminate bugs, answer support emails, chat on the irc about install problems. It is important to support Mephisto so that they can continue to support it as well. </p> <p> Well I am passing the hat ladies and gentleman; it is time that everyone pitches in an supports this great project with something other than "Diggs"! I have set a very reasonable goal of <strong>$250.00</strong>, which probably works out to $0.0025 a person if you look at the number of downloads this project recieves. </p> <h4>Lets keep Mephisto rocking!</h4> en-us I should have set a higher goal!

I would say that's nothing. I'm amazed people aren't donating more generously for such a great piece of software.... luciddesign@pledgie.com Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:19:51 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_77 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_77 (By the way, if it looks like I'm being a hippocrate and haven't donated myself, it's because I didn't realise I needed to create an account before making my donation. I assumed I would be asked to create an account as part of the donation process.) luciddesign@pledgie.com Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:21:46 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_78 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_78 Is it possible to link a donation to my account or is it too late? luciddesign@pledgie.com Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:22:18 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_79 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_79 hey luciddesign, yes we are adding functionality to toggle your donations from between "anonymous" and "your name" very soon. And technically, you don't need an account to donate (as you proved yourself ;-) ) heavysixer@pledgie.com Wed, 28 Mar 2007 20:45:04 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_80 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_80 I linked the account. :) garry@pledgie.com Thu, 29 Mar 2007 00:10:54 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_81 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_81 I think you should donate the money towards helping the earth with the global warming problem. kia-the-tree-hugger@pledgie.com Sat, 07 Jul 2007 14:02:09 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_112 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_112 up http://nevaavto.ru know that Rick and Justin are passionate about Open Source software, but passion alone doesn't make software NevaAUTO@pledgie.com Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:38:25 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_288 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_288 Ruby on Rails + Blog = Sweetness - James http://www.laptopcomputers.org JDDunn9@pledgie.com Sat, 19 Jul 2008 02:10:57 -0700 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_296 http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7#comment_296
