May I suggest that you look at the professional support page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support The companies listed will do support but also specific/custom development. Now your other options is also to use sponsorfreedem and place one or several bounties with a price tag and hope someone from the community will pick them up. I have no idea regarding the price and what would be acceptable though, as you say it’s new. You could check the stats here https://freedomsponsors.org/stats/ and see which bounties were done and paid. You could also check the amounts listed at https://www.bountysource.com/. So you have 2 options for custom dev: - professional: more expensive but done professionally, quickly, within your schedule, with support thereafter if bugs are found - community: less expensive but not sure someone will get interested and less sure about deadlines So I guess it depends on the budget you have and your timeline. Hope it helps, -Vincent PS: Maybe we should put a FAQ with this content somewhere on xwiki.org, WDYT? > Thanks, > > Bryn _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
