Good one ;-)

Again, you also missunderstand my point. I am not talking about
development, I am talking about marketing.
I do not complain about Michaels work. I've seen what he is capable of
and I am nothing but impressed. But what I am afraid of is that most
people interested in Haiku — and therefor a potential donor — do not
follow his work (because of lack or time and/or knowledge) to fully
understand this.
In order to maximize donations, these users needs to understand that
what Michaels is allowed to do is because of the money donated, and
that it is good.
If Michael did work on something that is easily understandable by the
avarage user, then they would notice the results them self. If not,
then communication is important.
I am not writing these mails to be mean. I am writing these mails
because I truly want us to be able to extend Michaels contract.
