where does the donate button go to? just curious... is it set up for each dev via their specific app, to OPT, to you for the site, etc? I kind of like how the Humble Bundle guys have their "donate" setup going... they have a series of sliding bars that let you choose how much of your donation goes to EFF, Child's Play, Humble Bundle or the developers of the games. Might be overkill for the site as it stands, but something worth looking into...

the donate button goes to me the site.
I guess one option in the future is to allow devs/porters to have their own donate button on their app pages..
sounds good right?

would the slider option I mentioned before be more complex than necessary? I liked it cause I could pick the total amount I wanted to give, then decide on how I wanted to distribute it... In their case, it also kept me from having to donate 4 separate times. Having an all-in-one option would likely encourage people to donate to more sources with less effort.
In the back of my mind, I'm hearing thoughts like "well, I just donated to the site, so I think that's good enough... don't feel like going through all that again just to donate to the dev too... maybe next time I'll just donate to the dev..."
doesn't necessarily have to be a slider option either, as long as it handles all the possible avenues that people would generally wanna donate to:
- you/site dev
- port/homebrew devs
- OPT
- prog devs aside from the devs who are porting (i.e. pidgin itself vs the person who ported pidgin to Pandora)
I think all these types should have an opportunity to receive donations, because they all helped to make this possible and all are equally important in my eyes. Honestly, I think it would be cool for every site that hosts PNDs should have a unified donate option of that sort... then it all seems fair across the board. But maybe I'm on overkill... just thinking it would be best for efficiency's sake...

well thats very complex, unlike HIB how do we decide which devs get the donation? what if some devs dont have paypal account? etc etc (too many unknown variables)
I think the best and simplest way is for each dev to be given the option to add his/her own donate button to his app pages (not all devs are bothered with donations), he wouldn't have to do this for every app just once and it would appear on all his apps.

i think the slider option was handled by the indie humble bundle guys on their own.
that means, they received the money on one account and tracked everything on their own and resend the money to whom it belong afterwards.
i guess this is a bit too overcomplicated for this nice repo;
i'd agree with milkshape, that if i could add a donate link and this one is then displayed automatically, it would be enough.

to directly answer milkshake... "REBIRTH OF THE DEV FUND!"
kinda feeds into what crow is saying on how he thinks the HIB guys did it... everything goes to a single place and is redistributed... Might be worth asking about. Was thinking milkshakes site would be a good place to start the development of such a thing for Pandora as a whole... but maybe a separate thread dedicated to such a topic should be created. Keep it all simple for now, but talk about something more complex for the project as a whole...

UPDATE:
added test script into my upload/side_load script that after realizing the pnd is an update of an existing app *should* copy the old pnd into a new archive folder.
(this is the first step into introducing the ability to download older versions of a pnd)
its untested however so if anyone has any issues with this please let me know (of course u will only know anything has gone wrong if it doesn't work), most likely there will be some php error displayed on the screen if something goes wrong.

UPDATES:
ok thats it so far not much for the end user but good for the site and the devs.
- I have added a better "rate this app" star bar which increases in size depending on how high you want to rate the application. (only works with javascript enabled, old style still works without javascript)
- when someone uploads an application with preview pics thumbnails are now generated (smaller file size = less bandwidth = quicker page load) the thumbails on the application pages are now actual thubnials and not just resized via html/css.
- when you leave a comment on any application the application owner (vendor) will now receive an email notifying him of the comment.

There's a bug with the way the dates are showing on the Repo right now. Several dozen items say they were released on "APR 4, 2011". Then a few dozen after that say they were released on "MAR 3, 2011".
