Hi Everybody, Two years ago we needed developers for our project and one idea was to use remote developers for certain tasks. We had some funds for that purpose and when I mailed in this list I got some replies. That time our hospitals chose onsite developers. For the webERP project we got Tim Schoffield in this way and he has since then been supporting webERP project in our hospitals (onsite and remotely). The idea has been in my mind since then. It might be one solution to the problem Pepito has expressed. It could be also one way to use any donations the project might get. I repeat my idea here.
When developer and client do not know each other the trust may be a problem but solution could be eBay like system. If the work is publicly offered in this channel it can be verified in online demo when it is finnished. The client will pay what was aggreed after it is done (the payment amount need not to be public). The reputation of developer and client are the only force that will make them follow their oblications. The project can be split in tasks and if the tasks are small enough the risk is not too big to developer or client. This kind of system might attract more developers and also clients to use Care2x when they have a better way to get support in their project. I have seen during the years that we have worked in our project that it is really difficult to find volunteers, but this may be the way to energize the community. What do you think about this idea?
