Perhaps something like pledgie http://pledgie.com/site/faq (used within
Github for project support) would be useful to track commitments to the
goal.
I'd set it up, but the recipient needs to enter a Paypal address to
facilitate funds transfer.

Guys,
I'm relatively new to this list, so I have no idea how this type of contract
has been handled in the past.
My first instinct would be to consult Pm on this. Also how would the collection
be handled?
As to the cost, it of course would depend on how many of would contribute.
Today the euro to $US dollar rate is 1 to 1.411. So 2100 euros translate to
$US2,963.10.
So if a 100 of us contributed, it would be $29.63 each.
If 50 then it would be $59.26.
If thirty, then it would be $98.77, or round off to $100.
Now could we have a show of hands--or in this case e-mails--as to how many of
you and how much you would be willing to contribute.
I'll start of with $100, if necessary.
Cheers,
Al

It is not easy to estimate this kind of work. Such a module can be done fairly
quickly (2-3 days) but without a good integration with PmWiki and with
potential security holes, as a couple of users expressed their concerns.
PmWiki has lots of features and different configurations. Such a module has to
work in many different environments, like different settings for passwords,
diffrent uploads directories, different servers, and different browsers.
Additional modules need to be written - file picker (with thumbnails?),
asynchronous uploader (upload a file while you edit a page), internal link
picker (autocomplete?). The most difficult decision is how to store and
differenciate the feature-limited RichText input from wiki-code which can have
unlimited features and local customizations.
Last but not least, it is not possible to write such a complex program at once
- there will certainly be bugs to be fixed as they are uncovered, features
added or changed, and the module has to be supported in the future.
"What do you estimate it would take to do it, and how long would it
take? What cost?"
Here is a Quote:
2 weeks of work for a working beta prototype, including:
* integration with PmWiki pages, passwords and upload directories
* modules file picker/uploader, link picker
* full documentation
* 1 year bugfixing/support on the Cookbook Talk page or in the PITS
* free software under the GNU GPL, MIT-style license or WTFPL/PD (the best
things in life are free)
The cost of this work is estimated to be 2100 euros. My company doesn't
collect VAT. A receipt or a number of receipts will be available.
Note that the features of the rich-text editor will be limited - not all
existing HTML tags or attributes can be available, and not all PmWiki markups
can have a rich-text "button". The rich-text editor will be in addition to the
normal wiki-text editor.
Thanks,
Petko
