Future Delphi Pro versions will have ECO bundled with it.More Together features are going to be inroduced with Delphi How ever ECO is still a mystery for many? There are number of ECO experts(apart from those employed by Borland) who are writing very good articles on ECO & there is even one book likely to be released soon How ever I feel this is not enough.To accelerate the process of more users getting into ECO , I suggest that we the users pay voluntary contribution to these experts for their published work.It can be even 5 $ per head.This will go a long way in getting quality articles & demos for the Delphi user community.Though the amount may be small the authors will appreciate the recognition that they are getting from the Delphi community.It will also encourage them into digging deeper in to ECO All that the author is required to do is to have a paypal kind of an account where users can pay the amount Even Borland can chip in keeping the quality of these articles & demos.It can even set up a gateway for payment to the authors. I for one am committing 50 $ as my contribution for these articles .I will pay them out on seeing the response to this suggestion from the Delphi community.I am just recognising in a small way the value of these authors to my on learning process. If more people agree to even commit money on this forum, I feel it will encourage more people to write articles ,tutorials & demos for ECO. The work can be categorized into -Articles -Tutorials -Demos -New ECO components -Patches to ECO bugs (or combination of any of the above) Venkatesh Back to top Gbenga Abimbola Guest Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2005 3:56 am    Post subject: Re: Voluntary contribution for ECO Articles by experts -A s "Venkatesh VT" <venks (AT) vsnl (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: How ever ECO is still a mystery for many? It is more than a mistery to me! I don't even know what it is. . Actually, I followed the example given by Dr. Bob, but I gave up since I could not get it to work. It is really very interesting.

I hope the book will explain how one can write a full-fledge application: not just a single Winform or Webform. Kudos to those (Dr. Bob, Todd and a few others) who have written articles on Delphi, C# Builder, and ECO. Their contributions have helped me a lot in my programming.
