I’m going to use MODx for all my sites now and I think we should write an unwritten rule that for every commercial site that’s made with MODx a small donation should be made.

No on "should", a big no on "writing an unwritten rule".

The general idea is sound - of a user donating to MODx in proportion to the number of commercial sites it has helped him launch.

But to make it the rule stops it being a voluntary donation and starts it being a tithe.

There are of course many ways to donate to MODx - time, add-ons, ideas, help and finally money.

If you do feel that you are getting more out of MODx than you are putting in, then by all means spread your earnings about - donate to MODx, sponsor individual add-on development, and generally enable more stuff to get done.

Actually, there may be something of a benefit to the commercial website in donating to MODx on its behalf, as it would get the site listed on MODxCMS.com; it is possibly "better value" to have 6 websites listed under $100 than one programmer listed under $300. But as I say I would not want to make it compulsory.

I think it’s a perfect and a sound rule. As long as you apply it to yourself and suggest it to others.
Not more. Businesses and budgets are so different, that rules - even "unwritten" ones - simply don’t fit to the "MODx project".

I do apply the rule to me, I’ve done one site and I’ve donated... I’ll always budget for donations to MODx with every quote I do for clients.
Seems more appropriate since MODx lost out on that $10,000 or what ever the amount was... It should’ve been yours MODx

Kewl. Nice site.

Mmm... creating a page with links to MODxed sites for those who donate it’s not a bad idea, can be a no cost source of money for the project... and the sites can even earn something from the MODx high pagerank.
"For every donation, you can add a MODx site".

No?

I’m still in the wrong category

I didn’t notice it’s actually possible to list more than one site, providing a donation for everyone.
Well, good!
