Hello, >>I think that it is certainly true about voluntary registration. To be >>honest I run a little home page mainly for the fun of it, and the 2 >>other people in my family who look at it twice a year... So I certainly >>would consider it worthy enough to add in your list of "sites making >>*use* of phpa". However, it has made my 400Mhz machine useful, instead >>of being too slow(!), and I am sure that there are many people like >>myself, who when added together make a useful sized universe. If you >>would like to be able to measure that universe, then that is fine by me! i think so, too. But i have an "idea": - Netcraft´s PHP Usage Stats say: 7,xxx,xxx Domains, 1,xxx,xxx IP Addresses fine, let´s say, 70% of the more than 7 million domains are "homepages" and the rest are targeted more towards "commerical" sites or something like that. Anyway - why doesn´t Nick sell his Accellerator for $1 (ONE single Dollar) ? Nick, i guess nearly _anyone_ will pay you ONE DOLLAR for your work. No Matter if he/she "is commercial" or not. Let´s say, you keep up this strange registration thing but add the "$1" to it. This would make more sense at all and once you reached the state of an multi-millionaire, you transform your project into an open source project and put it onto sourceforge or whereever you like. During the time, you charge the dollar for PHPA, you add a nice statistic module wich generates beautified X-HTML compilant output. This module is of course suddenly finished, once you reached 7 million dollar man state (or whichever you want to archive) and then, you close business and the open source community finds everything, the accelerator and the statistic tool, on a nice sourceforge page. So, the PHP Guys can add PHPA to PEAR or as standard accelerator to the distribution or whatever else. Micropayment.
