Quoted from Rush1169:Kickstarters for code updates and/or completions is a great idea. . .I'd be down with that.
It does set a bad precedent that the community doesn't expect Stern to have to pay for completing a product itself. I understand there's a fine line between "completing" the product, and community supported extensions to a product, but frankly I don't think anyone's happy with the ship-it-and-maybe-someday-finish-the-code attitude of Stern.
