Recently,
addons.mozilla.org added the possibility to show a donations
button on the main addons page. I've enabled this button and already a
few people have donated! First of all, I would like to thank those
that have donated, I really appreciate it!
The provider has been a lot of work, figuring out the peculiarities of
the API, making sure that Lightning and Sunbird both work well with
the provider and also trying to keep users satisfied. While the
releases of the Provider may have not been so often, I have also spent
a lot of time improving Lightning and Sunbird to allow supporting more
features of Google Calendar. The most prominent example of this is the
multiple alarm support. The patch was over 300 kB large and also
needed a few regression fixes. While this is not available in the
latest stable version of Lightning (0.9), support for multiple alarms
will be part of the next release. This also opened the door for SMS
reminders which are also supported in the latest nightlies.
If you use the provider regularly, please do consider donating a small
amount to honor the hard work I have invested. The suggested amount of
donation is $10, but any amount is fine, maybe its worth even more to
you :-) I will be putting the money in a separate bank account and let
it accumulate until I find an adequate use for it.
So, head on over to the addons page and let me know you appreciate my
work. Thanks in advance!
