Would it help if we can find some BA or MA or some external to to
spent
a few week/month full time on this?
Is that an offer? It would be hard to decide what they should work
on, since as I said we need everything, but that would be a wonderful
problem to have.
Well, actually I was thinking about last days but don't have a final
idea by now. My rough idea is, as we have the association now, in theory
we got a legal which can hire a freelancer to do unloved stuff like
fixing very Windows/apple specific bugs no one of distributors is
able/willing to do. Given this would help something, there are many
questions to solve first. The biggest 3 in my mind currently are:
1) Who could do the work. Who is experienced enough or willing the pain
to fix those kind of things
2) What tasks needs to be done (as in never ever anyone else would touch
it by there own) and how can we consider them as been solved successful.
Also this could be long running maintenance tasks at our infrastructure.
3) Who is going to pay for it. We got some money from our great donators
(big thanks to everyone ever contributed code, money or time), but it
would not be enough to pay maybe 1/2 month of work. So we might would
need to collect some extra money.
One possible solution: Parts of this would be a great thing for a MA/BA
majoring in something with software development.
So no final idea by now, but that's why I've asked ;)
Cheers,
Frank
