Would developing, LinuxCNC support, consultancy paid services be interesting for this community?
By developing I mean software and hardware: programming custom HAL components; FPGA programming; Making changes, alterations to LinuxCNC sources per request; Creating user interfaces; Design and creation of electronics hardware. What I am thinking about is to gather a team of people capable to offer services for money agreed. One way is just to advertise them officially, another could be crowd-funding. Crowd-funding principle could be handy for tasks of multiple interest in a way like this: 1. Task is raised from the community. 2. It is reviewed by the team or even other members, which offer their solution with description of what could be done, time and money needed. 3. One offer probably has to win. 4. Fund collection for the winning offer begins. 5. Work begins when funding goal is reached. 6. Work is tested when done, fixed if needed. 7. When everyone is happy, implementer gets the money, otherwise all or part of money (as agreed in advance) goes back to the funders. Being a full-time LinuxCNC integrator with some experience, I could help collect the team members if I see my idea gets your support and real tasks could be funded. Probably management system could be integrated into existing issue tracker..
