Bounties?
Just out of curiosity, how many OpenMoko users out there would be willing to pay for bounties? Additionally, how many developers would work for bounties? What sort of bounties would you guys request? How much would you pay? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I was thinking that knowing that someone works a graphical alsamixer, based on the real circuit layout, that highlights in real time the connected circuits, where you click on a control to change it, that can manage the .state files etc... would be worth about €50 pocket money to me.

Probably on the order of €30-40. One thing I'd be prepared to pay for is some sort of handwriting recognition or grafitti-style input. First, though, I need to be convinced that my Freerunner is usable as a phone. I have problems with GSM buzz and too low audio level at the remote end. My Freerunner is basically sitting on a shelf until OpenMoko get that stuff sorted out. /Erland ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

For example, I'd happily pay AU$100 to have rock-solid with all the basic phone functionality, but for me this means suspend / resume, no echo, a simple (as in easy to use and understand) graphical volume control which can be adjusted during calls and automatically saves changes to the appropriate state file, PIM database and PIM synchronisation, Tasks / Calendar / alarms. From a user's perspective, these are kind of one big compound issue which I'd call "give me equal functionality / reliability to a cheap nokia", whereas from a developer's perspective they're many small and widely diverse things that need to be done / improved. I certainly think it could be worth somebody setting up a bounties website, I believe I've seen similar things in the past... -Dale ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Looks sane. As virtually everybody want what you just enumerated, these $100-200-300-more(?) can be collected from large crowd of Openmoko users. Written once -- used by many. And yet it doesn't violate open source/development spirit. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Bounties?
I would be willing to contribute to a bounty that interests me. Of particular interest is getting syncronization support for Openmoko into Conduit [1]. Anyone else into that? Also think about ransoms. If you have a project you'd like to work on, present it to the community and see what kind of funding can be slapped together. -Charles Pax [1] http://www.conduit-project.org/ On 12/3/08, Chris Samuel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Wed, 3 Dec 2008 9:05:42 pm arne anka wrote: > > > not everybody uses qtopia. > > I didn't mean to imply that they did, just that it exists. > > -- > Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC > > This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.

Re: Bounties?
This site looks like what we should start using.

Re: Bounties?
I'd pay ~50 for a thing like Agendus on Palm OS. http://www.iambic.com/agendus/palmos/ That can sync to Evolution (at least Calendar and Contacts) and has good mail app. QT mail is not usable, clawsmail is a lot better but not optimized for a small screen.

Re: Bounties?
Do you think it is a good idea to start a bounties page on the wiki? People can post their detailed bounties on the page with details of how to contact them. The developers can claim the bounties once they feel they have fulfilled the task.
