The single largest challenge for projects like this is staying on track. When you create and give of your time without compensation, in this world, you have to balance that time and materials with the tasks the generate compensation. Meaning that too often a side project like this gets off track because the paying work takes priority.

This is part of the reason for the new 'Donation' and 'Support this Project' links you find here, particularly in support of our software offerings. We will be adding another to the home page in the coming days as a way to say, 'if you enjoy what we do, help support us'. Why do we need that? something you may not have noticed is that we have chosen to not advertise here. No trackers. No advertising. Just content.
