Hello my friends blog BlindHelp!
NVDA Needs You! NVDA needs you! Thousand thank you friends!
to summarize, the foundation that helps the development of
NVDA has no funds to pay both the software developers from July 2011. So any
donnation is welcome. see below in English.
Here is a translation of Michael Such's message NV ACCESS: Quote
As you all know, NV Access, the organization that develops NVDA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the production of software blind people do not result in expenses other than buying computer.
However, what you do not know perhaps is that to do so, we must seek funding or grants from larger organizations to survive. Unfortunately, the current economic climate that these funds are much smaller than in the past, despite the support received by NVDA past two years.
Jamie and Mick, the main developers of NVDA are paid minimum wage because of their experience, knowledge and know how, what they are willing to accept because they appreciate that they provide a positive contribution to the community of blind and the accessibility industry in general.
However, despite their willingness to continue, there will be no money to pay them beyond July 2011 if we do not receive financial assistance.
Rest assured that we will seek financing from other companies or associations, but the reality is that it might not bear fruit in time to save NVDA. In short, we desperately knowledge translation gaps for your help.
For the latest version of NVDA, our counters indicate that there have been 50,000 downloads. Even if we withdraw 20,000 for those who have downloaded several times, he remaining 30,000 individual users. If each user
gave $ 10 today, we would have $ 300,000 that we could use to pay for Jamie and Mick to continue to develop NVDA full time for a sufficient time.
We are very proud to offer a screen reader free open-source for our community and for the accessibility industry.
The principles that underlie the decision to NVDA free and open source are also important for the Committee of NV Access today than it was when Mick has considered the potential of NVDA. However, for NVDA is developed in the way you're used to, we We need your help. We are neither greedy nor profuteurs only pragmatic and honest.
Please, think about how NVDA has helped you or can AIDR others and make a donation to:

Hi, The followings

NVDA
Needs You As You Are All aware, NV Access, the organisation which develops NVDA,
is a non-profit organisation which is predicated on making software for
the blind that requires no extra cost than the purchase of a computer.
What you may not know, however, is that to do this, we must seek grants
or donations from larger organisations to survive. Unfortunately, the
present financial climate has meant that these grants are much less
forthcoming than in the past, despite the accolades that NVDA has
received over the past couple of years.
Jamie and Mick, the core developers of NVDA, are essentially paid
minimum wage for their experience, knowledge and skills, which they are
prepared to accept because they love the fact that they are making a
positive contribution to the blind community and the accessibility
industry more generally. Despite their willingness to carry on,
however, there will be no money to pay them after July 2011 unless we
receive some financial assistance. Rest assured, we will be seeking
grants from and alliances with other companies, but the stark reality
is that these may not come to fruition in time to save NVDA. In short,
we desperately need your help.
For the last release of NVDA, our records indicate that there were
50,000 downloads. Even if we discount 20,000 for those who may have
downloaded NVDA multiple times, we are left with 30,000 individual
users. If every user donated $10 today, we would have $300,000 that we
could use to pay Jamie and Mick to continue to develop NVDA full time
for the foreseeable future.
We are very proud that we provide a free and open source screen reader
for our community and for the accessibility industry to use. The
principles that underlie the decision to make NVDA free and open source
are as important to the committee of NV Access now as they were when
Mick first envisaged the potential of NVDA. However, for NVDA to be
developed in the way that you have become accustomed, we need your
help. We are not being greedy or exploitative, merely pragmatic and
honest. Please think of how NVDA might have helped you, or may help
others, and donate today.
We sincerely thank you for any contribution you can make.
