Any chance, to get it updated? A. The links on that particular page don't seem to work any more. But the most recent versions (from 2010) of Project Gutenberg are still available. The English-language version is listed on http://dev.thewikireader.com/language-packs/ but the German-language version isn't listed there. However, I looked around a bit and found: http://wrmlbeta.s3.amazonaws.com/deguten-20100608.7z.001 Thanks - got it! BTW: the wikireader tracker now seems to work again. I'm seeding all language packages now, hoping it will last another two years...

Re: Money makes the world go round? Yes: new paid developer program for OpenPhoenux/Goldelico
Maybe not as a replacement for someones income, but I am very interested in the competitive aspect of having bounties and completing the tasks. It's a lot like reputation points on the websites like http://stackoverflow.com/ having actual money compensation is a great incentive IMHO. -Jason On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 8:11 AM, Dave wrote: > As a professional full time employed software developer (in > Australia), I am on around 300AU a day, I can't see the incentive > scheme working ... sorry > > On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 5:38 PM, Christophe Drevet > wrote: >> 2012/7/11 Dr. H.

As a professional full time employed software developer (in Australia), I am on around 300AU a day, I can't see the incentive scheme working ... sorry On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 5:38 PM, Christophe Drevet wrote: > 2012/7/11 Dr. H.

I thought about using a reward offering page for each feature or bug important for some people. Do you have a bugtracker or something to track those ? Maybe we could add a plugin for people to offer bounties on specific tickets and for dev to see how much people want them fixed and what they can earn by stepping in. Maybe I can help finding/writing such a plugin (depending of the language used) Of course, that is just useful when we have some dev around. I, myself, won't step in as I don't have much time, and enough skill to work on GTA04 even if I had some money to buy one. Hardware/embedded development is somewhat harder than just software development. Good luck with this project.
