I’m working on a planning desktop app loosely based on Steve Pavlina’s The Meaning Of Life: From Purpose To Action associated with a calendar.

The app is developed in Java so it will be cross-platform and I plan to release it as donationware (eg it will be free but I will ask you to consider making a donation).

I will be using an agile development process, with many small iterations (one month long). I started yesterday on development and the first iteration should be done in exactly one month.

Not only the app will be donationware – which means fully free to use even though users are asked to consider making a donation to ensure I can put resources into further enhancements to the app – but also open source. This is an experiment with the donationware model as a possible long term solution for open source developers (we need to eat too )
