Daniel Jalkut came up with the idea of a community-driven ad-network for Mac Software developers. The software to implement this is rather trivial to write for somebody with a web-technology background and a weekend of time. I have the background but not the time. Neither has Daniel or anybody else in #macsb. While I’d like to kick off the necessary development, I have too many things I do “for free” already. So I’d need a monetary motivation to get things going.
If you, a Mac software developer, are interested in seeing this project come to life you can help out. I’ve set up a PayPal donation drop-off to collect as much money as you’re willing to spend on this. To get things running and to let it run for a while, I’d like to get the money to buy myself a ADC Select Membership: $499 (or ca. €370).
When the target amount is reached, I begin writing a community ad-server as described by Daniel with a minimal feature set (outlined below) and commit to maintain it as an OpenSource project.
If the target isn’t reached, I can decide if I do it anyway and keep the money. Or you get your money back, sans half of what PayPal keeps as charges for both transactions.
An administrator can add new members
The server component will be written in PHP
