John,
Can you give us a few words on the end result of what you are trying to get to?
Just curious if you are designing and growing with no particular end result...
Thanks and keep up the great work...I use this quite a bit.

Become millionaire so he don`t need to work for his money any further maybe? j/k
"the way is the goal"
I think at some point this website with all the apps will be to much work for a single person. He is getting already so many mails he can not answer to all, he needs a secretary.
So I think at some point he must stop adding new apps which need much support or he needs to give other people full access to all work.
There are 2 other Moderators that I know of, Ryan and Marko. Also, there are several people working on development, mostly on the PAP, including SmithTech and Xrxca. In addition, several apps are done entirely by people other than John, namely Patrick and Ryan, but also a bunch of other people.
Don't forget me. I've got a few that I'm working on right now (Stellarium, namely) in addition to TimeTracker Portable and DTaskManager Portable.

Just haven't had time with Stellarium. Look forward to porterkm releasing it then.
Well I have a few apps in mainstream use and in development hell.
Dell XPS M1530 Laptop
Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 2.5GHz
4GB Ram
256MB GeForce 8600M GT
I know others have had this problem, but I can only launch Stellarium from the command line, and can't launch Stellarium Portable at all. I'll release it, as I know that others aren't having this problem.

If I remember correctly I had a problem like that when I started looking at Stellarium 0.9.0 as it was released, same went with JDoom too if memory serves well.

I'll look into that, maybe release an older version (better than nothing, eh?).

I would have thought I was a good example, being the only dev with a program released on this site (Toucan).
Mine would have been out sooner if... erm, John read his emails. Yes. Hehe.
The logo sucks too 
Also, yours was already established as PUSS and isn't a launcher, so it doesn't count
*runs from Steve*
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Toucan 1.2 does use a launcher, and as for the icon, if you want to make a better one that's fine, but I quite like the current one.
But maybe NeoRame
Did you see the one he designed for Lilina for me? Pure genius.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
could you ping me with his email address, I was hoping he might do me a whole new icon set for 2.0!
you can find it on my Homepage
Hell was full, so I came back!!!
Sorry for my lousy English!!!
so I can, don't know why I didn't see that before, I'll email you later!
The lilina icon looks so good and professional!!!
Congratulations Neo!

Sorry for my lousy English!!!
How could I forget? I even use it. Sorry Steve and porterkm. I knew I'd forget somebody...
the question was directed to john and a lot of people have answered but not him
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
well i did not know there was a goal but i have learned allot about programs since i have been here ah hell it even gives me the opportunity to practices my photoshop skills with theming.. I guess he is just a nice person trying to offer a good service thats free. well thats just my guess.
Never curse the alligator till you done cross the bridge.
To be the owner of this website must look good inside an resume or application.
He gives us something for free, he stays friendly but I think he is getting some money thought this page also. But however, this project is perfectly okay.
Just to tell you, he makes a bit of money off of the (usually unnoticed) ads on the page.

As far as I know, John makes around $0-$1 from this site. In fact, he spends more than he gets. What a kind man.
(I feel happy today :D)
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
about $18.41 US dollar an hour, so if someone needed to report their time working on such projects, that's what you can use.
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
He should be sharing that possible 1 dollar with the rest of the developers!
tats funny

This is very serious, I just may take this to court.
(I should note I spelt 'verious' at first :P)
I believe he was going to. (Mind you, once he has hardware partnerships and stuff :P)
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
he still is.
That's nearly impossible. Like Google, since there are so many people here, all it takes is one person in every 10-15 people for HIM to make hundreds in profits. And how the heck can bandwith (unless if it's free) cost 0-1 dollars?
