I am not that much interested in money, really. But I do want to get something back in return for my efforts. And no, this does not include whining and complaints. It includes useful bug reports. It includes a willingness to keep working with me until the bugs are fleshed out. It possibly includes making (and maintaining!) an installer. At the moment, I am happy to say that Git works for me. Even on Windows. I have no problems with the command line, and both Cygwin and MinGW Git do their job reliably and joyfully here. But there might come a time when I get into a position much like Shawn, when I have to work with Aunt and Uncle Tillies, who are not as clueful and intelligent^W^W^Wused to the command line as I am. So I want to exploit Open Source, meaning that I give _you_ something, and _you_ give me something back. And that might very well be just a suggestion "make the commit button stick out; I did not find it, since there are so many buttons". Or a nice comic "how to use git". Also a beer is appreciated. Or whatever. My complaint "let's talk business" was some (frustrated) way to get the attention of people who do _not_ give something back, and are astonished that just complaining will not get them anywhere. FWIW I just applied for the project "Git on MSys" on SourceForge. Let's see how this will work out. Oh, and I will _not_ do such a thing as think about what you might want, and then proclaim what would be my price for it. You _know_ what you want, so why don't you just tell me, as a detailed list?
