This won't happen since people don't want to "have to" work on things like this.
It can't replace a real job or steady cash flow.
So... This will always be runned by people having fun at this.
There for communication and having fun making these compilations is the key word we are looking for.
So please don't go to the if we pay or if we donate discussions again.
Lets just try to keep on track and share our solutions so others can work on that again.
And.. try to enjoy doing these things again.

Precisely, it would create expectations. I have a good friend with 25+ years experience as a software developer. He makes $~100k/yr. It would only take ~1700 people paying $5/month to create that much income. It would be easy to get that many people out of the 10+ million WoW subscribers. Most addon developers seem to make far less than my friend, so it's curious as to why people like you have such a hard time considering the possibility of a structured payment system. Things such as Zygor's guide and the incentives that the nUI author provides for donations makes me look forward to the future, when we have people who are more open to an actual free-market system, rather than the crapshoot that exists currently.
