New Live Support Scheme
Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 3:51 pm
It's a shame that it has to come to this, but it has. I have some big problems coming soon if I can't both raise some money and save some time. This will at least achieve one of those things :-p
As of now, speaking to me (skype or phone) is a privilege that you will need to donate in order to receive, unless you're currently considered a core developer.
I'll accept 30 - 100 USD per hour or part thereof if you need my assistance for your benefit. If I need your help testing, then of course you don't have to pay. Likewise if I have a social relationship with you, then you don't have to pay to have a laugh with me :-p
Current core developers:
Donation unit size, and method of payment, shall be agreed before engaging in a conversation. Significant previous donations can be used as collateral against this too. You know who you are :-p
Examples of graduations:
In addition, I'll be strongly expecting the above people to be using and sharing their knowledge with others on the forum as appropriate. This saves me a lot of time and physical stress, so is super valuable and aside from your code contributions, the biggest thing you can do to help.

- Jonas - firmware and testing (thanks!)

- EssEss - tuner development (welcome!)

Examples of graduations:
- 0 - 60 minutes = one donation unit.
- 61 - 120 minutes = two donation units.
- 121 - 180 minutes = three donation units.
- etc.
