I have been struggling lately trying to get myself onto the latest build of DNN 3.x but have a number of module vendors who haven't been able to quite integrate the significant changes. 

Especially the Membership provider.

Many wonderful DNN module developers struggle to make a business of module development, and many others balance this with their "Day Job" or Contract work.

I believe the Benefactor program is fair, but I would really like to see some special accomodation made to help the Module developers who cannot afford the platinum

level to still get their hands on the betas.  This would help them to update their modules in a timely fashion, I will help DNN because people like myself will be able to move forward and utilize the great new DNN features.

I don't look for a blanket change but rather a small one that will target these great contributors to this community.
