In fact, numerous big software \nprojects, which do/should collect their money from many sources are \noperational already, just like there are many small developments like some \ndedicated blogs, which should receive support from many sources. As I see it, \ncurrently a great deal of failure is going on with both intelligently \nsupporting others' developments and receiving support for own ones. And it \ndoesn't surprise me at all -- how can things be different, when no trust is out \nthere, just like predominantly there is so little knowledge about how much \nsupport a given project needs! Even it might all seem just logical to many, \nwho see no failure, as such are the capabilities of the current economy. Quite \ninevitably, given an understanding about the capabilities of the latest \ninformation technologies, reasoning leads me to a conclusion, that a new kind \nof business is necessary. As various information projects develop and benefit \neveryone, who copies them in some way and finds them useful, the importance of \ncompetition lessens as opposed to importance of cooperation, simply because of \nmore efficient way of making life better. But... Cooperation requires mutual \nsupport, which requires trust. How can so many people, who convene around a \nfull spectrum of numerous information projects have a way to know how much \nsupport a given project needs, when question is about money? The full answer \nis too complex to say, effectively it is unique for each project and can differ \ngreatly, however there is an important thing in common for all -- to receive \nsupport, open information projects have to provide knowledge of the support, \nwhich has been received already. That way there can be some reasonable trust. \nAnd it can happen through technological reliability. To understand what I mean \nby those two words, you have to read my presentation (link given below). In \nessence, I believe, that technological reliability can solve many problems and \nI also think, that I've made a bit of invention as for how to achieve it.\n\nIf you feel interested this far, you should read this:\nhttp://11.lv/files/presentations/2010/OWB/OWB-eng.pdf\nor, if you would prefer slides, where contents appear incrementally, as if I \nwas telling them piece by piece:\nhttp://11.lv/files/presentations/2010/OWB/OWB-eng-i.pdf\n\nTo git people: (hopefully this can be accepted there) well, first, thanks for \ninspiring me with your VCS, also I think, your responses might be valuable, as \nyou're many serious programmers there, you could inspect my idea from \ntechnical point of view and give a feedback of what flaws you can see!\n\nThinking it over for multiple times, I think, those 5 principles are enough an \nidea to build the relevant software and use it with success... But Internet \nhas a lot more eyes than I do, so, please be critical (but precise)! I'd like \nto have some confirmation, that my idea can be what I think it is, just like it \nshould be useful to discuss the underlying problem (distributed support) in \ngeneral.\n\nDevelopment of those software components should be the further discussion, but \nI think, we are not there yet.\n\n\nAlso, if you are interested in this and happen to use gpg, please do a favour \nto me: consider that presentation a piece of my content-based identity and, to \nbe sure of the next contents you might read, where I'm supposedly an author \nand signature file is given (as I'll do for each +- serious work), check the \nrespective signatures against the attached public key (I do my best not to \nloose the other component of it)! If some mailprogram removes those files, \nsearch for 0xDA7B716812463FDFAB8D7A2E9CA777980D745B45 Thanks...\n\n\n"}]}
