But I see what you mean. There aren't many OS4 users contributing, and most of those who do, only contribute with some $10-$20, some even single digit donations. I think this could be because of several reasons.

them reason I think are mostly WRONG, the main reason I only donated a small amount is because this is simply open source the code, there are no guarantees it will be easy to port specially if it uses closed sourced Morphos libs or what ever and we need to support the devs who are going to have to port it over and maintain it.

Plus another reason why many OS4 users dont post much any more is there sick of some of crap that goes on in the drama of amiga world web sites and plus maybe they are just simply enjoying there machine and not on web forums as much. I know I've spent a bit more time on my Amiga than on amiga forums. And big thanks to the QT youtube app I finds my self more and more on the Amiga!

Well firstly you can not deny that there is very little present of Os4 users on Amiga.org anymore and so most users wont see this thread and rallying cry that takemehomegrandma is (slightly over) doing for this project. Secondly a thread on Amigan which I think is why the whole project got going in the first place a few seem to question how the bounty was set up, there was some unanswered questions and questing of the amount, after reading that thread I was nearly put off by donating. But again I thought no matter what Fab for his work in 1.19 release deservers some respect and a donation for his efforts so I hope the bounty does reach the target and he gets his reward, I really hope all this money however isn't locked up in the bounty for years to come like some others.

PS: where both speculating as to why not more people have donated there are even more likly reasons not even brought up, not everyone has or trusts pay pal accounts, people dont like putting money into bounties, people might think its too much, people might not like the terms, people might be happy with what they got, people might not simple able to afford to give anything.....the list could go on, but as always it easier for a morpthos fan to say it because OS4 is dyeing off. which I just think is way too closed minded.
