I think Satchmo is a precious project and I hope it will bring to a sort of little foundation to help developers work for it not only basing on volunteer hours. Companies that uses it for business could put some money together to bring some improvements. 20 companies that promise 100€ is a little sum that can help, or not? Maybe we can also create some satchmo developer day to help standard developers with testing and patching. It's an open source project and I want to help it grow, it's the reason I spend some time to put on trac some simple patches I've tested a lot on a production website, and I think this can help. -- Alessandro Ronchi Skype: aronchi http://www.alessandroronchi.net SOASI Soc.Coop. - www.soasi.com Sviluppo Software e Sistemi Open Source Sede: Via Poggiali 2/bis, 47100 Forlì (FC) Tel.: +39 0543 798985 - Fax: +39 0543 579928 Rispetta l'ambiente: se non ti è necessario, non stampare questa mail --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
