I am pretty sure, you can find independent developers (like myself) who can and will handle small orders (again like myself). But making a general statement is dangerous, since a lot depend on a) what you expect for a few thousand euros b) if you expect a formal contract setup, with prepayment bills etc. I would never say yes to in general to do developments, but with specific details I might, and I am sure a lot of other independent C++ developers think in the same way. Please remember this is a list of volunteers (like with LO) so our prime target is not to make money. rgds jan I. > > (*) > I want the company in which the developer is engaged, not mentioned here > > > > > Greetings, > Jörg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
