Donation to Dan Rathbun

Who is Dan
Most of you probably know him, but if you don't, Dan Rathbun is one of the top contributor to the Sketchup Plugin community. He created a few useful tools, but mostly he helped a lot of plugin developers create great plugins for Sketchup ! If you use a plugin, it's probably thanks to the direct or indirect help the dev got from Dan. His contribution is simply huge !
As a novice developer, I don't know what I would do without him and what he contributed to the community.Why he needs us
When I came across this post from Dan ("I got sick and NEED income"), I thought that I would donate some money to him. That's what a lot of people do when they want to thank a plugin dev, and that would be a well deserved salary for his work. But I said to myself, "wait a second, I'm broke and this guy certainly deserve more than the 20 bucks I can give him..."
So here it is, a donation campaign for this great man. If ever you used a Sketchup Plugin, Dan helped you. Now it's time to help him !Donation campaign on Indiegogo
I put the minimum goal which is $500, to make sure Dan gets the most money out of this (If the campaign doesn't meet its goal, Indiegogo keeps a larger cut). But I really hope we'll go beyond that !
Let's do this folks !
(I can't contribute to the campaign I created, but I'll of course add my share at the end
) -
Thanks for posting about this Jiminy and doing something positive about it. I was not aware of Dan's situation. I hope he recovers to full health soon.
I totally agree with you, that Dan is one of our more prolific developers and particularly when it comes to supporting other developers.
