But are you saying that you could put time into it if you could get paid? Maybe kick starter? thought this: http://blog.felixbreuer.net/2013/04/24/crowdfunding-for-open-source.html indicates that it doesn't work well for Open source projects. Are you set up with a consultancy so that people could pay you for a particular bug fix or feature? For example, the US federal government (which I work for) can not donate to anything. We can, however, pay a contractor to provide a particular service. As an example, we are right now wrestling with PY2App to distribute a product. If we could have hired you to get that all set up for us, then you may have been able to get a few bugs fixed, while we could have gotten what we needed to economically. NOTE: it's too late now, and It might have been difficult for us to contract with a non-US entity, but you get the idea. As a matter of fact, we did something much like this with Robin Dunn, the wxPython developer -- we hired him to extend an app of ours that required some updating/improving of wxPython. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
