Hi, I'd also be willing to put funds up front so that good test hardware can be purchased to do the development on. In that case I'd be looking for someone who has had previous success getting their code (ideally in graphics) accepted into the project. I'm also willing to put the funds into escrow if there is a concern about getting paid.
I'm only an individual, so I don't have corporate level backing or anything, but I am thinking of putting in a decent chunk for this, as in hundreds rather than tens of dollars. Again, I realise that money isn't the driving force here, but my thinking is, if there is someone who does contract coding for example, it might be possible to purchase a block of their time to work on this.

I would also be interested in helping fund Skylake support. Happy to donate some upfront to anyone interested in working on Skylake. -Adam
