Not sure myself :) But I updated the story page for the campaign to include a bit of history. I now also mention tox a bit more: I added two tox-specific perks to see if there are people who would like to influence me/others to work a bit more on tox. One thing it'd like to do is exposing tox's API in such a way that you can use it to write functional tests which require more complex setup. For example, having a devpi-server-2.3 export some data and a devpi-server-3.0 import it -- this requires two virtualenvs and it would be good to reuse tox's mechanics to manage them, start services etc. I also think that we are reaching out to a broader circle of people and many tox improvements are relatively easy to tackle. could someone review the update? does this make sense to you? I also sent a mail to indiegogo support to inquire if we can rely on the "flexible funding" setting even though the "draft campaign" doesn't show it. holger > Florian > > -- > http://www.the-compiler.org | [email protected] (Mail/XMPP) > GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc > I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/ -- about me: http://holgerkrekel.net/about-me/ contracting: http://merlinux.eu _______________________________________________ pytest-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-dev
