I noticed from the hit counter (or whatever you call it) on the Adobe XML News Agrregator that in my previous entry on this, CFEclipse: Make Mark Drew Rich Campaign, got over 90 hits. Sadly, no responses/comments to that entry, so I'm super curious if anyone is with me on this? I was hoping for some response, even if it's something like, "you're crazy, Aaron, the point of free software is that you shouldn't have to pay for it. Like, duh!". ;)

So, my last attempt at encouragement is to say that I really think we can do something, together, to keep the CFEclipse gravy train chugging along. Each of needs to just give a little. I'm totally making numbers up here, but you'll get the idea:

I'm guessing there could be roughly 5,000 regular users of CFEclipse across the world. If we get the word out, and encourage our fellow CFE users to contribute to Mark Drew (http://www.cfeclipse.org/index.cfm?event=page&page=donations), then hopefully we get 1,000 of those 5,000 to donate an average of $10 each (about £5.00 GBP).

• 1,000 * $10 = $10,000 obviously
• but to dream a little: 2,000 * $50 = $100,000
• and beyond...
