I was going to post this as a front page story, but thought that would be a bit forward for this user, so I guess I'll just put it here and if there's interest, I'm sure the Powers That Be will do something about that...

Anyways!

My Main Perl Project, Dada Mail is having a New Features Fundraiser! Yeah!

The details of it can be found at:

The fundraiser itself is being hosted by Fundable at:

And I'm holding a vote for which feature(s) will get included at:

I'm hoping for at the very least $1,000 for a month's work on a feature, which works out to a little more than $10/hour full time or $20/hour halftime - which is about the amount I got for interning at a web design company,

when I was nineteen.

But, I don't want to gouge my users with some ridiculous goal that will never be reached, so a little amount to offset the costs of developing and allow me to focus on features, rather than simply maintenance I think, would benefit my entire community.
