Sponsor a plugin

September 3rd, 2007 Posted in Thoughts

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

We, as active developers, have an increasing number of Plugins currently in development or awaiting development.

Over the next few weeks (and months) we will be releasing some key upgrades to our current collection of WordPress plugins, as well as adding new versions for other platforms such as MODx and Facebook.

To help keep us going, we are offering the chance for a kind person or company to sponsor a plugin (or plugin family).

What do we mean by Sponsor?

First off, let me clarify. We will NOT be embedding hidden links (or links of any kind in the plugin software). We know how a lot of people feel about this, and we feel the same way. The plugin code will remain the same regardless of whether it is sponsored or not.

By sponsoring a plugin, you will get the following:

  • We will add you to the list of sponsors on the right hand side of this blog.
  • You will have a tag line added to every post about the plugin on this blog, such as “The MyDashboard plugin is sponsored by …”
  • We will place a “Sponsored by” banner or link on the main documentation pages for the plugin. This will be the page that gets the most traffic as all of our links to download the plugin are directed via these pages. For an example of one of these pages see the current MyDashboard plugin page or our Availability calendar plugin page.

If you are interested in sponsoring an existing plugin, would like to sponsor an upcoming plugin (ask us for our development list) or have an idea for a new plugin that you would like to sponsor the development of, then please contact us.

We can offer sponsorship for the life of a plugin or for any duration from a day to a year.

    What will sponsorship cost? Are you will have to have multiple sponsors for the same plugin?


  2. Barry Says:

    I am finalising the sponsorship costs at the moment, a page with more details will be online very soon.

    There will only be a single sponsor per plugin, per platform, per period of time.

    A lifetime sponsor of a plugin will be linked with that plugin for it’s life (even if it is renamed, as will be happening with the enquiries plugin on the next release).
