2007-02-11 Donation

A few days ago an Oddmuse user from Canada asked whether I’d be willing to do some work for hire, or if I knew somebody who did. A few days before that, a Swiss friend asked a similar question. I declined the offers and offered to pass along some contact info of developers I knew from IRC or real life.

I guess developers interested in making some money should create a page on oddmuse.org so that users can find them.

The same user from Canada then asked for the donation button. I said that there was none and told him that if he wanted to show his appreciation, he should donate some money to charity instead and let me know about it.

This is basically along the lines of what I said for Emacs Wiki:

If you like the site and want to contribute something, contribute either time or money: Write content, fix typos, clean up pages by removing old discussions, merging and splitting pages, and linking up and down the page hierarchy. If you do not have time, you can always donate money. Show your support by saying on your homepage on this wiki how much you donated to charity because of the Emacs Wiki. That would be awesome. ¹

This user then proceeded to donate $150 to UNICEF because of Oddmuse... Awesome. 😄

It might be more appropriate than asking me... After all, the kind of conversation you’d hear on `#oddmuse`:
