Dear all!
Recently Marc (creator) explained, that all his work to maintain, fix or update teslalog is given to us for free, the annual fee is only used for hosting and hardware and he is not taking anything for his time out of it! Actual, when he is spending time for teslalog it either reduces his living income or we steal him away from his family (my guess).
I suggest to raise the existing subscription fee allowing his time spent to fix/maintain/update teslalog is neither cutting out of his living income nor his free time anymore. Like raising it in a way allowing him to plan for n hours of time spent for teslalog per year.
I strongly believe that the subscribers of teslalog are more than willing to contribute and giving him a reliable income stream, keeping the service alive and him (and his family) happy ;-)
As an alternative I imagine a regularly information (as e.g. in wikipedia or archive.org) showing the status of a to be created donation pool of "paid hours", which is today at zero. It could show the already spent accumulated hours per month or year and the planned hours to be spent in coming time per month/year. Thus everyone see whether we are "good" for this year/next year or even the next disaster and can chip in.
What do you think?
