Hi Ashton,
As I've told Admin on several occasions, I agree this would be a good
thing. But he's been reticent in our conversations about it.
There are some complications that go along with a
subscription/membership model. For instance, I'm sure the pressure on
him would be even greater if there were another extended outage, and
that may not be worth the benefits right now. Imagine a reversed
variation of, "I can't argue with you unless you've paid." IOW, some of
us might (intentionally or not) get cranky with Admin if there are
uptime issues after paying.
Let's hold our horses on funding a little longer. We can hash that out
some more when chutney's humming along on its wire.
My $0.02.
(Best of luck with Sierra.)
Cheers,
Scott.
