Wow...I hadn't received any of the follow up posts to this thread for some time. I just decided that CB was something I could make use of as I have had some support at the phpBB component site about integration...
www.joomlastuff.org/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,40/page,viewtopic/p,9869/
So just donated $15 USD which, considering the aspects of CB I want to use (I won't be using blogs, galleries and a number of other tools) I felt was reasonable to get some extra support material...and now I check this thread and find out I'm still going to miss out?!
Sorry...I know this is going to affect my Kharma rating I'm sure and the work done on CB is impressive, but 25 Euros per year for support material! It feels slightly like a backdoor way to generate some income. I would have thought at least you would have made it a minimum donation and then left it up to others to decide.
I'm not opposed to donations, I've donated to Xoops, Mambo, Joomla, Joomla components - bookmarks, yanc, phpBB and also paid for 3 Phil Taylor components....but that's a high set fee (remember you're charging per year) for something I won't know the value of until I get it.
Phil
PS...Phil Taylor has a component that delivers electronic ietms after payment...why not buy his component and use that (and no, I wasn't being sarcastic there...his system works well)
