Hi

I've been contributing to Globulation 2 and would love to see others join this great and unique project. To support this I've already founded a bounty system at globulation2.org pretty much like the one here only to find out I was running it alone.

As long as there is almost no money in all those nice but small OSS-projects like glob2 i will keep working for stupid closed source projects bringing some of that money to OSS-projects. Maybe enough people see it that way and some of us programmers can switch and live from coding for cool OSS-projects ;)

  1. General Questions

    Hi Folks

    Somehow I miss a forum or some way to communicate. The founder of this site very well knows wikis. Where is wiki.cofundos.org?

    My questions in particular:
    How is this whole thing meant to work? I can not offer to work on my own project? This certainly has to do with the lack of requirements. But why can i bid then?

    Shouldn't it look like follows:

    Project:
    .Name .Description .Comment[] .Requirement[]
    Requirement:
    .Name .Description .Comment[] .Offer[] .Bid[]
    Offer:
    .Name .Description .Comment[] .Amount .Timeframe .License
    Bid:
    .Comment .Amount

  2. Offer?

    What exactly is the offer? 435EUR per month for one year? So the offer should be "one year full time programmer for 5220EUR".

    As far as I can see, the COfundOS system intends to have projects where the bidders pay only after the project has been fulfilled to the content of the majority of the funds. If your promise to work hard can lead to this consent your offer would work nevertheless.

    Please also consider promoting the funding of and offering to conclusively described glob2 projects.

  3. Am I blind or are you damn fast?

    I could swear i didn't have links here [1] and here [2] but as it looks a bit alien now I guess you simply are damn fast even on sundays ;)

  4. :)

    obviously your tags are interpreted :) But looking at the code I again can not figure out what tags are allowed and what not.

  5. anyone interested in exactly this project?

    Hi those interested in glob2

    I am thinking about concentrating all my bids on [1] as I guess genixpro would rock the project. On the other hand I know at least one who is interested in implementing paving areas. If I see no action here within a week i will revoke my bid and move it to [1].

  6. even worse

    looking at the stats i found out that my shifting of bids from one project to another is also affecting todays total. Will do a test with 2 more changes to the same project.

    at Cofundos improvements (requirement not every change of a bid should make it to the front page) on 1 Nov 2007 15:31

  7. Did I get you right?

    you want some extra CRLF in your documents? But you seriously wouldn't want some blocks of lines rewrapped like:
    ab
    cd
    ef
    gh
    ij
    becomes
    xa
    bc
    de
    fg
    hi
    j from changing the first line. but rather
    xa
    b
    cd
    ef
    gh
    ij

  8. solution?

    So what you want is a mechanism that avoids long lines and wrapps them before committing? So maybe this is an issue for the CVS/SVN? A maintenance bot that

    1. inspects each commit of a .tex (.html, ...) file
    2. breaks long lines (longer than 100? make it 80)
    3. commits the canged files

    That way you know wrapping works even if others make changes not using TeXnicCenter and you can savely ignore commits by "wrapperbot".

    at Line-wrapping for TeXnicCenter on 3 Nov 2007 13:21

  9. cvs or svn?

    hi again

    is your project in cvs or svn? would you want a maintenance bot? i would make an offer if you provide these infos.

    at Line-wrapping for TeXnicCenter on 3 Nov 2007 13:30

  10. ?

    So I don't get the task. If I want to make the paragraph manageable by cvs I should minimize the count of lines I change. soeren's all following (single) newlines should be rearranged would not solve the ease of merging conflicting changes. And why should that be a task of TeXnicCenter? soa? Maybe you can clarify?

    at Line-wrapping for TeXnicCenter on 3 Nov 2007 16:33

  11. please someone do this

    it is so annoying to not have spell checking in half the mails. but the iceweasel/firefox-spell checker should profit from that addition, too.

  12. when will voting end?

    Hi

    somehow I miss a date when the 3 weeks will be over or when the voting started.

  13. what are we bidding on?

    hi!

    I somehow don't exactly get what we would be bidding on. Watching the videos is a bit a long way to get the information needed.

  14. update management

    hi ssololow

    i agree it is no solution for linux based systems. nevertheless windows based systems work that way and pidgin should cope with that.

    what happened to paula's offer?

    greetings!

  15. pong?

    pong is tennis-like isn't it?

  16. but still it would help

    hi wwokolow

    although you might be right about the fact that per apclication update is not the best choice windows users will want it. under windows i wouldn't want it for the sake of ease of the update process but to know when an update is available. this would help both the user and the project as people would not blame gimp for bugs in long outdated versions as the user gets aware of him not using the latest version.

    at GIMP auto-update on 26 Dec 2007 01:54

  17. weekly update

    Hi Paula,

    what's the status? We voted for your offer and what now? Is there any time-limit?
    My question is more a general one. If you ever get this done that's fine with me but other projects might have several people wanting to implement it and in those cases a time limit would be essential.

    at Pidgin auto-updater on 14 Jan 2008 01:03

  18. status of Genixpro's offer

    Hi Genixpro,

    what's your status? I think I remember you wrote something not so optimistic about your offer. Do you still offer what is stored here? I ask because I either might spend some more money here or shift my offers to the smaller glob2-projects where people have done things already. (Eduardo has started with paving areas and quit before finishing it so I don't know if steph will make something out of the code snippets.)

    If you affirm your offer, my offer would be to double every bid up to the demanded €2610. That would be another up to €(2610-810)/2=€900 from my side.

    Greetings

  19. use linux ;)

    in linux you have an extra clipboard (maybe that goes by another name) that you paste using the middle mouse button and copy by simply marking.

    at Copy and paste on 2 Feb 2008 12:29

  20. little update

    genixpro has started working on glob2 again. he's doing progress. to get convinced have a look at [1].
    I already transfered 800€ and hope for support by others so we can support genixpro the whole 6 months he has available.

  21. next payment

    Hello fellow bidders, genixpro asked me to transfer the next payment. As he's doing a good job so far I'm willing to do so. When are you planing to pay your bids? Are you interested in specific tasks you would want to over-vote me for? genixpro takes it very seriously when it comes to who is paying him as long as the proposed task is not counter-productive. For the ongoing progress please see the bugtracker and the history of the repository, Greetings, Giszmo

  22. payments

    hi mmein

    payments are not possible through cofundos itself so far. genixpro has a moneybookers.com-account using "genixpro@gmail.com". Moneybookers was the cheapest I could find to get my money to Canada. If you are located in Canada, maybe you should be able to find cheaper ways ;)

  23. update

    Hi

    As we hit half time of Bradley's offered programming it's time for a little update:
    I just raised my own offer to 1600€ having payed 1200 already. Bradley is doing fine with the coding although we have a little trouble getting to know the exact state as he is offline. Yes, you read right, our main developer has no internet as his Canadian (thought they had good infrastructure there) provider stopped the contract and there seems to be no alternative. This makes updates fly in in big chunks rather than in daily commits but programming is well under way.

    Probably the fact most worth mentioning is that we have released beta3 and it looks like this is the best and most stable version ever as we focused on stability more than ever before.

    If you, my Co-Bidders did send money to Bradley, please let me know as I still hope on some support from others. Oh yes: Bradley please confirm all payments so people know this is all transparent.

    Greetings,

    Giszmo

  24. this transaction has long been finished

    hi

    sorry for not reporting back but genixpro finished his job and got payed at least by me. i would appreciate if he would close and finish this as he is not available in a way it is represented here so this might be misleading.

    thanx to all that supported this task.

    greetings,

    giszmo

    at Globulation 2 Full Time Programmer on 10 Nov 2008 23:27

  25. genixpro is not available

    hi

    although he didn't state it here he will neither oppose that he is not available for glob2 anymore. he has done his part but can't be counted on for the future.

    greetings

  26. ...

    besides ... good you came here offering your help.

    actually i would bid on glob2 tasks again (doing so at getafreelancer.com) but would require very precise offers with well defined goals and quality standards.

    feel free to offer stuff. start working today. for example you can provide a patch that you don't license under gpl. this way i can test it and if i'm satisfied and we agree on a price the patch goes into the repository. else using your patch would be a copyright violation and you can be sure we want to avoid that.

    i just see you selected "new bsd" as a license. don't know that. i will only bet on code licensed under gpl v 3

    greetings,

  27. one year has passed --

  28. and nothing happened

    i'd well want to retreat from my offer as a 90€-job not done in one year and no response looks pretty dead. when will this get reset/closed/done?

    regards,

    giszmo
