Well, not a "follow my 12 step program and I garuntee you'll make $10,000
|
||
in your first month!!!" kind of clear answer :) But I do think that there
|
||
is a clear answer to the kinds of strategies that are out there, and some
|
||
of the economic reasoning behind the different strategies.

You're right that it's not a HOWTO in the sense of, say, the Printing
|
||
HOWTO. But I think it is very like, say, the Advocacy mini HOWTO. For
|
||
advocacy, there are lots and lots of places on the web saying "don't be a
|
||
jerk; be polite, point to strengths, etc." but the Advocacy doc lays
|
||
things out clearly, goes into more depth, looks at different target
|
||
audiences, etc..
|
||
|
||
A web based resource site would be great, but I think it would serve a
|
||
slightly different purpose; much more a collection of links to do further
|
||
research on. A HOWTO style document could go into depth about individual
|
||
strategies, and help people think of the question in and of itself (how to
|
||
fund development of free goods) independent of a "should I try to work for
|
||
company A, or B?" kinds of thoughts.

The closest I could find on FSF site was
|
||
|
||
<A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeSoftwareCompanies">http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeSoftwareCompanies</A>
|
||
|
||
I am certainly looking for these kinds of sites, and would love to get
|
||
more references.
