I'd love to know how this project manages to get such high quality stories out for every update. I assume their project has a community member who is passionate about writing. It's such a rare, but useful thing to have someone volunteer their time to do great technical writing. I wish someone would do it for the open source projects I work on!
- richdougherty 9y agoThey seem to have people on the forum with 'Content Creator' badges who work on these reports: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-dolphin-progress-report https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-dolphin-progress-repor.... Great idea to recognise people who help in other ways other than coding.
- ClassyJacket 9y agoIt's an incredibly impressive project. I can't believe they're not on Patreon (maybe this type of project doesn't qualify?). They're more high quality with their updates and the writeups about their updates than most commercial software made by professionals getting paid.
- jsheard 9y agoThe Dolphin project doesn't accept donations in any form, IIRC they said that fairly splitting the money between the contributors would be too difficult. Apparently their infrastructure costs are covered by the few ads on the site and they're happy to leave it at that.
- im3w1l 9y agoWow, that's a decision I deeply respect.
- LocutusOfBorges 9y agoAs far as I'm aware, the user you're thinking of is JMC4789- they do some fantastic writeups. They've recently started a side blog (http://emucross.com/ http://emucross.com/), as well. If you're curious, their reddit submission history (https://www.reddit.com/user/JMC4789/submitted/ https://www.reddit.com/user/JMC4789/submitted/) has a bunch of interesting stuff.
