   Great followup article Jeff. At the very least your article and the spin-off from it is causing people to think more about expressing appreciation for so much of what we tend to take for granted.

     Just in case Matt or someone who can affect things is reads this article…it’d be a great idea to list the tweets with the #donatefriday tag on the wordpress.org/extend/plugins or wordpress.org/extend/themes page…

   Yeah, I hope even more end users gain a greater appreciation for all of the hard work that developers and other contributors put into WordPress and other Open Source projects.

   They need a little more love, and besides, the more coffee you buy them, the faster they can pump out those updates!

   I’m in the process of setting up a small business that will use as much open source software as possible. Part of the business plan is to donate a percentage of my profits to the developers at the end of each year. It just seems the right thing to do.

   Thanks to all the developers, theme authors and all the other people that contribute to WordPress.

   Very nice post Jeff….Yes we cannot expect the world to be perfect…and are both thankful and thankless people here…

   a few donate in appreciation and a few link back or write reviews on the plugins or themes…

   and there a few thankless people who even remove the link to the theme author’s page on a free theme they enjoy…

   and there a few others who don’t even know how to remove those links, but ask for help in forums on how to remove those links…

   but it is those thankful people who make us the developers to continue to churn out themes and plugins…We the developers should continue to contribute as long as there is a thankful community…

   I have to say we are MOST GRATEFUL to WordPress. It is the most professional platform around. Flexible, sturdy… amazing…

   ‘Thank you’ folks at WordPress, and also ‘Thank you’ to all free plugin providers for providing such a digital lollipot of options and features for our blog.
