Rewards for those who donate

[XPero]

Hi all. I've been thinking about a way to reward people who donate and at the same time encourage donation to the XPize project.

My idea is: depending om how much you donate, you will be rewarded in one way or another. For example, lets say someone who donates 5$-10$ would be rewarded with a XPize pin. Those who donate 10$-20$ would be rewarded with a XPize T-shirt and those who donate more than 20$ will have access to the XPize source code.

What do you think of it? What others things you would like to be rewarded with? Express your thinkings

Wish I could donate but I don't have a paypal account...

i've got another idea:

give the people who donated €20 or so a build 1 week earlier before it goes public, and the ones who donated €10 or so 3/4 day's before the public release

A T-Shirt would be great!!!!

Then I will donate, but

1. I have no PayPal. Yet!!

2. how much is the dispatch from spain to germany?

But I think you schouldn't give access to your source-code.

And people who donate can be mentioned in Credits by XPize-Setup.

Wow, 20 € for sending a 1kg or less to Germany..

Donators should stay anonimous

You'd better make that a free T-shirt, with postage extra on top of the donation.

I can see you designing a cracking t-shrit, I mean look what you've done to XP

@ XPize

You can send the donors the layout for the t-shirt (Photoshop-file, ...).

So they can print it itself.

Thats a good idea. A big vector XPize logo

How about including the donors names on the site or in the setup as a special thanks to ......... everyones name. i do not think giving the build away early would be that good.

for one it would delay the release too much. we release beta for testing and then after getting the bugs , it takes 10 15 days , the new version is shipped. here there would be another wait of 10 15 days for everynone.

I want both the pin and a t-shirt.

don't send out tshirts or pins, i'd never wear any clothing with pc related things on!

I am gonna click on the ads on the Xpize site and make my donation. ALL those who do not hav a Paypal account could donate using the ads on the site.
