Because all the developpers of Links have successfully finished their
college study, the development of Links loses it's incentive as a school work
and moves into the area of free time, which is generally scarce. To reinsure
a continuity in development with stable supply of development time, we decided
to incite the users into sending financial contributions.
The contributors together with contributed amount will be published here, in order of decreasing amount. Costs of development of every compacted part of code will be assessed. As soon as enough contributions accumulate the code will be released (under GPL, of course).
We believe that such elimination of all mediating elements between user
and developper (compared to the commercial model of proprietary software development) will allow reaching maximum possible development efficiency from the user's point of view.

Bug reporting
If you find a bug in Links, please do the following:
- Try to determine if the bug will show second time. If yes,
then determine what to do with Links to invoke the bug.
- Determine the version of Links.
- Install the newest version of Links. If the bug is not in the
newest version, then it has been probably fixed and in such case
forget the bug.
- Send bugreport to the following four addresses:
| mikulas at twibright.com |
|
| brain at twibright.com |
| perm at twibright.com |
Bugreport should include
how to invoke the bug, what version you have got, what operation system
do you run Links, and if you know it, then also what capabilities have
been compiled in Links.
- If Links segfaults, then look if you got the core.
If not, switch the coredump on with "ulimit -c unlimited" and
segault links with the bug one more time. Then archive the core.
Do not send the core as an attachment.
