Dan MacDonald reminded me to post the results of the donations experiment. As some of you know, I added donation links via Amazon and PayPal on the free developer articles pages on July 19. Total donations since then are about $150. Individual donations ranged in size from $1 to $40, and it was split about 50-50 between Amazon and PayPal, both in terms of number of donations and total dollar amount.
I consider this experiment a success, since this is more than enough to cover bandwidth costs for these forums. Most of the donations came in the first two weeks though... after that it slowed down considerably.
I also promised to post a new article if the donations exceeded $100. I've got a new article in the works, and I'll post it as soon as it's done.
