I was wondering if the 3 initial subprojects are still current. - Has any progress been made on those topics since November? - Are the requirements stated in the wiki complete and realistic? - Is the budgetted time in any way sufficient? The wiki page is intended to define subprojects that we actually need, so please discuss and refactor as needed.
Just to be clear: anyone can bid for a sub-project, you don't have to be Dutch :) On 15 feb 2008, at 19:07, Martijn van Exel wrote: > I put up the draft proposal on the wiki: > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/%E2%82%AC15.000_Funding_for_Software_Development_-_Proposal > > It's now Feb. 15th, it would be good to have the proposal finalized > before the month is out. > > If you know of relevant wiki pages that should link to this, please > add! > > Take care, > -- > martijn van exel -+- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -+- http://www.schaaltreinen.nl/ > > Op 11 feb 2008, om 22:16 heeft Martijn van Exel het volgende > geschreven: > >> Hi all, >> >> Back in November '07 I raised the issue of most pressing software >> development issues [1].
