Changes http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/AwardOfBounties/diff -- Bounties: -- relatively small promotional awards to be paid for programming work done to enhance Axiom.
Submissions will be accepted on an "as is" basis. It should be very clear whether a submission fulfils a specific requirement or not. A good example would be a MS Windows port of axiom: The requirements would be (roughly): * that axiom can be compiled according to step by step instructions * passes "most" of the tests -- there might be some platform specific problems, of course, like pathnames and the like * and the changes are documented. Similarly, a bounty could be awarded for an SBCL port, when Axiom actually compiles in this environmnet. Special awards will be granted for especially good work. In fact, there are quite a few tasks where a simple operational result would already be great: pamphlet support on MathAction, a Windows port, an SBCL or CMUCL port, compiling domains with Aldor, etc. The individual items from the WishList and [Summer Of Code] are possible items for awards. Here the current proposals: +--------------------------------+-----+ |Windows port | 50$ | +--------------------------------+-----+ |pamphlet support for MathAction | 50$ | +--------------------------------+-----+ |CMUCL/SBCL port |100$ | +--------------------------------+-----+ |Aldor |200$ | +--------------------------------+-----+ Note that we really have *no* idea how much work these items represent although you can be sure that their value to users of Axiom is far beyond 200$. That is way we refer to a bounty as an "award" and not as a payment for work accomplished. <em>**Sidenote**: Many great mathematicians set out prices for proofs of conjectures they had. Best known are probably the prices of Paul Erdös. These prices ranged from 10$ (difficult problem) to (I think) 500$ (only for genius)...</em> In this spirit, we might set up a second row of bounties, like: +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+----+ |implementing Zeilberger | 5$ | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+----+ |fixing bug #191 exquo and therefore gcd cannot handle UP(x, EXPR INT) | 5$ | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+----+ based on an email from:: Martin Rubey Thursday, November 25, 2004 8:29 AM **Subject to change without notice.** -- forwarded from http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction/[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
