[QUOTE="Elvinis75, post: 1040103, member: 4379"] Okay first let me say that I’m totally jazzed that you willing programmers are working hard at bringing this SRD PDF to a better standard. Second let me say that some of the thoughts that is rolling around in here are distrubing at best. Having had experience in doing some free programming work I would like to say that pushing people to walk through hoops when they are doing something for free is a good way to leave them disenchanted. Saying that total compatabilities has anything to do with self-respect is ludicris. Any person giving up their free time to help some people out is great person period. Saying that he has to help out nearly everyone to have any self-respect is just plain crazy. So I guess that what I’m saying is that it is rather unfair to judge a persons free work by the standards of that of a paid professional. If a person ends up asking for money out of this then I’m going to pass on it but if I wasn’t I would expect more. By the same token if they are going to offer it to me for free I’m going to accept that it is going to be using the most common standard out there. Like most reasonable people I accept that freeware is just that free. Not the work output of a paid professional. I for one am fine with the > 90% approach. Keep up the good work all. [/QUOTE]
