You’d better open an account in China bank since i couldn’t donate because Paypal china doesn’t support paying to international account. Or you can run a E-store at China,like TaoBao.com,the biggest B2C website ,where we can buy your T-shirt to support this project.

And Andrew McNutt’s idea is too Expensive to agress. $150 means 150X6.5=1000￥, which is 1/4 of our mounth income ,and it’s only a beginning.

Why would we want to pay for something when it is free? Just donate money to the guy so he can pay his bills and buy a decent car. What is it with everyone and greed in this effed-up world? Get over the money.

[...] Para asegurar este flujo contaste de nuevas mejoradas versiones de cocos2d para iPhone, me dedico desde fines del 2008 a trabajar full time en este proyecto. Para ello cuento con los aportes que recibo de las ventas del código fuente de un juego que hice usando cocos2d y de las contribuciones voluntarias que realizan los usuarios a través de una tienda que cree al efecto: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/store” [...]

Free software is great, but it also comes with the stigma that it “might not be very good” if it’s free. This isn’t true for everyone, and for people who give cocos2d a fair chance. One other thing about free software, is people are more prone to take it “for granted” than something they pay for. If you buy Corona for $199, you’re not going to take it for granted.

I would say that you could follow the Corona model, let it be free until a developer wants to publish something, but then beat Corona’s price by making it $99 when the publisher is ready to publish. $99 is fair and a lot better than Corona’s annual $199 fee. (If you want to get the latest updates.)

Anyway, just some ideas.

I agree with Mickey, software is good when it is free. As we do have the cocos2d community, why don’t we organize some programs for promoting the cocos2d engine and its developer. Well it might sound difficult task. Most people who sell game using cocos2d would definitely donate for it

Promote third party tools or games source code based on cocos2d and take a % from the sale of this products. (like apple store does).

I think this will have 2 benefits: will boost the cocos2d features and also will bring some money to cocos2d.

Well…
I’m pretty sure, that cocos is popular and good because it is free.

However, if you get some money on your cocos based game, why don’t you donate some percent to engine developer?

I agree with the comment from Fatty. You have an amazing product here that many many people have benefited from. I think a one time payment of $150 is a small price for what you get. It’s enough so just about anyone can afford it and large enough so you get paid for all the hard work you are doing. You get paid and keep on doing the great work you’re doing and we can enjoy it and make all the cool games we want to with it. Win Win.

I’ve another idea…an APP that syncs and downloads the updated online documentation and API reference to the iPhone for an offline use

A lot of people would pay for it
