Maybe Crowed funding developing method is the only way Hardcore OSS
people would accept?
I would personally more focus on guidelines how to use ads.
All the best

This is an excellent discussion point; I believe this is a very
clear aspect of the key problem of SFOS at the moment - the whole
point of SFOS is to DIFFERENTIATE itself from android.
Note : I love coding for SFOS, it's inspiring and motivating.
Sure, it has it's limitations and quirks, but still, its a great
experience IMHO.
The facts are that, if you ask someone the question: "Would you
mind ads in app XX?" they will reply "Hell NO".
But nevertheless, if app XX gets published with ads, and the app
is good, nobody will care about the ads, and use it anyways.
So, this can mean that:
1) nobody wants ads
2) nobody cares if they are there, tho
My experience has been a harsh rejection of ads by the jolla
community, with my app where I had included ads.
In the timeframe the app had ads included, I noticed two trends :
a) people who stopped using the app completely due to the adds
b) people who kept on using it (hence rule 2) applies).
I'd wonder if codign a SFOS app with ads and publish it as an
Android app on the jolla store will actually fix things?

Yes, that is how it is. Paid model does not work for masses -
maybe iOS is exception to some extent...
I fully understand those who are fed up with annoying ads -
just like me, too.
But it does not imply ads are evil as such. Just they have to
be placed carefully and accordingly...
Anyway, I just wanted to invite other developers for helping
me finishing this 'sdk'...

I want to add my experience from the developer's point of
view. I have an Android app with about 1000 installations (and
100 active users). This app has ads as well as an option to
disable them for a $2 donation.
Nobody ever activated this option. So most probably I won't be
able to get any revenue from the app without ads.

Hello, Zoltán! :)
Feel free to criticize me, but... ads in our jolla? No,
thanks! :)
I subscribe to this - while I understand developers are
looking for revenue streams I really like
how current native Sailfish OS apps are pretty much add
free (for one reason or another).
Just take a look how reckless add usage ruins application
usability on Android.
I'm fine with donations, paid/premium versions, etc. but
please no adds! :)
I guess if you are a developer it make sence to ask for
donations / create non-free apps, but please, no ads at all.
(Espesially with additional web engine module loaded
eating my resources)
Again, this is just my opinion. I understand it opens new
possibilities for some projects, etc, etc.

I've progressed with implementing an open source
wrapper for Vserv RESTful advertisement API in QML.
Quote from API description:
Vserv provides a simple HTTP based API to
publishers/developers and other ad networks, etc.
to fetch ads for mobile sites or mobile
applications. The mobile device / server makes a
HTTP request to Vserv Marketplace server with the
required parameters and in response receives the
ad in JSON format. This single API integration
gives you the flexibility to fetch banner/ full
screen / rich media ads.
Available implementation is in pre-beta phase - quite
majority of functionality works but there is still
room for improvement.
Since I'm not so experienced in this area of sw
development - and especially newbie in Sailfish
native development - */I would like to ask some help
from the community in finishing it/*.
It would be a general purpose QML wrapper around the
API with necessary tailoring is needed for Sailfish -
e.g. Webkit vs. WebView, etc. Maybe separate git
branches are needed for different implementation(?) -
I'm open for any reasonable proposal.
Is there anybody willing to join? Reviewing,
commenting - and of course, coding is more than
welcome. [This is my first open source project, so
comment from this aspect is welcome, too.]
API descrption is here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/139TRSTV33tLxKxbew4yPTPF4uc8PZJPiRkxyo9GymIE/edit>,
code repository is in BitBucket
