The unanimous (if not exactly voluminous) opinion expressed in the 'Ok to pay for code' thread was that everyone wins.
So, hearing no objections, I would like to offer $200 rewards (each) for up to 3 more gui plugins: pyGtk, jython/jyLeo/swing and perhaps one more, to be determined. Make no mistake, these are big projects, the "reward" will almost certainly amount to less than $1/hour. In particular, the jython/ jyLeo/swing project will need a major rewrite to be compatible with Leo's new core. The rules: 1. I will reject any code that requires huge changes to Leo's core. Leo's tkinter gui code uses wrappers for text widgets. Gui plugins use those wrappers. Minor changes/extensions to wrappers are fine, as are *minor* changes to Leo's core and plugins. 2. The code must work, without significant bugs or rough edges. There will be no rewards for incomplete work. Polish is hugely important for gui code; as has been demonstrated before, unpolished gui code is almost worthless. 3. If more than one person works on a project, I may choose to split the reward, or even increase the reward. 4. The word 'plugin' can be taken loosely: leoPy.leo already contains an outline of the gtk support. You can choose to you develop code as an actual plugin, or integrate the code directly into leoPy.leo from the beginning. 5. The code **must** be developed in separate bzr branch. I shall be the sole judge of whether the code is ever merged with the trunk. These rules are given to minimize confusion about what I want. I *want* to pay the rewards, and will help gui developers in any way I can. Edward P.S. It is my present opinion that wxWidgets is not capable of supporting a proper gui plugin for Leo I won't reject such a plugin-- in fact I would love to have such a critter, but you should be aware that I have failed more than once in the attempt. So this would be a *high* risk project. OTOH I would reward it highly.
