The Dollar Campaign For Thunderbird Devs

Posted by timothy on Tuesday December 21, 2004 @12:00PM from the reasonable-is-an-understatement dept.

Robert Accettura writes "In a rather comical spirit, Seth Spitzer (of ex-Netscape fame) is asking Thunderbird users to donate one dollar (or about 0.77 if you're in Europe) to Scott and David, the lead engineers of Thunderbird. Unlike Firefox, with quite a large community submitting patches, Scott and David have been working with much less community aid, and still managed to deliver a very solid product. This is a little way to thank them for managing to do so much with so little to keep our inboxes free of spam and easy to use."

Coincidently, I just switched over to Thunderbird today. I would have paid more if the link allowed me to. I'll bet others would too.

Wow, you're not gonna get far with 0.77 SEK (just over $.1). Or were you hoping that the £0.77 from the UK would even it out?
