I think Rob is right in saying that, unfortunately money won't bring any of the current 'voluntary' developers out to develop and maintain the app outright.
The only alternative is to find someone new who may be willing to take up the app for the money - but then this is no easy task. The biggest problem with Quicksilver is its complexity and lack of documentation. Those of us who've been trying to develop it recently now all have a fair idea of what going on (most probably each in a different area) but getting someone new to figure it out is going to take a great deal of time anyway. Probably the best solution I could make is to learn Cocoa and help out yourself - Quicksilver was probably the first 'real' application I started developing for and I've been learning the whole way. There's no reason why anyone else can't do it and help out as well :) Patrick On 11 June 2010 19:39, Tim <[email protected]> wrote: > Yep - I'd certainly pay.
