ask for donations.
This is a nice piece of software. Good work. I think it might aid in resolving some of the outstanding feature requests if you solicit some support from the user community.
We already accept donations, see http://www.taskcoach.org/
But I agree with you, there’s room for far more work to get the feature requests happening. The details are complex. But put simply, two years ago, I was just a user, I wanted the same thing, I talked about it, there was a campaign that failed, I was discussing this with a friend, and it led me to create the now-in-progress fundraising system Snowdrift.coop
It would take too long to describe here the complex issues with how to make donations more effective. See https://snowdrift.coop to read more about our proposals. Task Coach will be included as one of the first projects when we really launch. In the mean time, this is taking a lot of my time, so I personally haven’t done as much with Task Coach although I have always been only working on support and documentation and such — I’m not doing the programming side of things.
Cheers,
Aaron
