Sponsor AROS or AWeb development
« on: June 25, 2002, 03:15:07 AM »
I have two months of free time this summer, which I would love to spend on coding for AROS or AWeb Open Source. The problem is that I have to pay my bills, and therefore I would need to get some temporary job. This of course means there would be very little time to code on those projects... :-/

The solution to this would be if someone (or some group of people) were willing to sponsor me for coding on AROS or AWeb one month or two. I don't ask for much money, just enough to pay my bills and to buy food. For that I would code 60 hours / week, that is more than fulltime. In total, this would mean around 240 hours of work going into AROS or AWeb in a month, to improve any part you (the sponsor) wants me to.

You can find more information here.

I'll have a look at PayPal; I wonder if it works if you're not living in the USA...

The problem is though, that I need to be sure that I get atleast 5000:- SEK (about 500:- EUR) so I can pay my bills, otherwise I cannot guarantee I can actually work on the projects (since I'd have to get a job anyway). So having a couple of people donating 50:- SEK wont't do me any good, unless I *know* atleast I'll end up with 5000:- SEK in the end. :-/

I don't know, since I haven't looked close enough at the AWeb sources yet. However, CSS is a typical feature that might be very hard to bolt onto an existing design unless the current design is *very* extensible (which it doesn't seem to be). I don't think it would be possible without a serious redesign of AWebs architecture...

Although I could ofcourse start, but it would be hard for me to promise anything usable in a month. The most simple CSS properties would be quite easy to implement (like text color etc), but implementing *everything* would probably be quite hard...
