I've just added two ways for anyone to give money on a recurring/monthly basis to our donations page. Thanks for the idea. So far, we're not to the point of having enough coming in to pay anyone regularly, but we'd sure like to get there... > Perhaps market it as a 'sponsors club' which gives members access to a > sponsors-only support mailing list which has slightly priority.

Recently I was considering this idea, but it raises questions of whether or not the list would have public accessible archives, read-only participation options, etc. Managing yet one more mailing list is also a bit of a burden on us. Another approach could be to use the normal lists but where contributors are asked to identify themselves as such (there could be ways to automate the identification, too) so that the team can make a point of prioritizing their inquiries. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ----- squirrelmail-devel mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: [email protected] List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.devel List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-devel
