Every day millions of programs are forced to work in the most deplorable conditions. Poorly written lines of code, ugly graphics, and broken installers are just a few of the atrocities these software packages must face. They're asked to do so much with so little, often without any thanks or the hope that their situations will improve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is my donation tax deductible?
A: No. Donations are made strictly out of the goodness of your heart. I do truly appreciate your generosity, and you will be sent to a nice "thank you" screen after you've made your donation, but donations made here can't help you on your taxes.

Q: Will I be recognized for my donation?
A: Unless you specifically include your name and some sort of contact information (i.e. an email address) on the donation screen, then, no. All donations are made anonymously. If you do include a way to be contacted, then at the very least, you'll receive a personalized thank you letter.

Q: Can I really tell you how to spend my donation?
A: Yes . . . and no. All donations should be considered no-strings-attached gifts. However, if you request that your donation be used toward a specific goal (say, bug fixes), I'll make every reasonable effort to make sure that's how your money is spent. Simply include a message with your donation on the donation screen to let me know how you want your gift to be used.

Q: Can I buy my way into the credits of something?
A: Not really. Almost every project on this website is open for collaboration. So, if you're a developer, designer, or believe you have some way to contribute to the content, contact me. If you do contribute in that way, you'll definitely be included in the credits. If you make a significant financial contribution to a specific project, then it's very likely you'll get credit in the project — but it's not guaranteed. However, if I begin receiving significant contributions, then I may very well add a sponsors page where you will be recognized for your support.
