SourceForge Donation System for Projects

Posted by michael on from the buddy-can-you-spare-a-quarter dept.

comforteagle writes "O'Reilly Developer News is reporting that SourceForge has begun a donations program for hosted projects in addition to the program which was for supporting the site. Apparently project admins have to opt-in to have the program setup for them, but it sounds like a pretty good idea. There's a 5% transaction fee, but that doesn't sound totally unreasonable. Perhaps a limit would be a good idea though." Sourceforge and Slashdot are both owned by VA Software Corp.

    Do you understand simple math?

    This is 3rd grade stuff.

    "F.NET is taking a 5% piece of the transaction fee" does NOT imply that the whole fee is more than 5% - it implies NOTHING about the whole fee.

    Think about it. If you reach your original conclusion, then please never reproduce.
