The Android Developer Donation Thread

[natemcnutty]

I know that we all have a great respect for the developers who spend their personal time porting Android to our phones and other phones. Most of us do not have the knowledge to contribute code to these projects, but some of us may be in the position to provide monetary support. Many of these developers purchase used phones for development, and the XDAndroid site/hosting does cost money to keep running.

I have had a lot of requests for this thread, and I wanted to put it together to make it easier for those who would like to donate but are unsure of where or how. I also think it would be great to have a nice summary of the developers working on this project and maybe even what their specialties are. There is absolutely no way to account for everybody who has worked on this project, but I would love feedback and help in building this list and making sure that we can account for as many developers as possible

The main XDAndroid donation page provides money to be spread to the various contributors as well as maintain the project site. Feedback on donations are highly appreciated as they can help send the donations to the right people. The page to make donations is here: http://xdandroid.com/w/donate.php
