waynewalter Posted June 12, 2007 at 07:52 PM Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 at 07:52 PM Dave, How do you fund the development of Adsotrans? It's a great project concept. Do you accept or refuse donations? I haven't seen a place to make donations. Do you commit full time to working on this? Is there a company funding it? Users need to know how to support the project. Also, I'm interested in starting an unrelated open source project. Sincerely, Wayne Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted June 14, 2007 at 03:41 AM Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 at 03:41 AM I collected donations for the textbook site when I was up in Beijing which were put towards getting site recordings done, but am otherwise paying costs out of pocket. I'll occasionally flirt with AdSense, but prefer to avoid the screen clutter. Donations are welcome through paypal, but I wouldn't encourage people to send money unless they want to earmark the funds for something in particular. The grind is really with data entry and error-correction. We don't advertise, so word-of-mouth is usually how people hear about us. And attracting people to the project is the best way to lighten the load. I'd encourage anyone looking to support the project indirectly to check out ChinesePod, where I work. Some of the recent error-correction effort has come from the Academic team there as part of the lesson-prep process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
