Maybe add a more detailed explanations than on
the "unmaintained" page, like "Kluppe is great but it would greatly
benefit from basic midi support"?
Add that info to the kluppe wiki page.
(Or to a new dedicated page, gathering such issues)
Such a thing could potentially get complicated:
shouldn't bugs and
feature requests not pertain the wiki, but the project's pages/authors?
I think the wiki is a good place for such notes, because everyone can add
and edit.
That only appears reasonable of course, if developers are interested too
and occasionally visit the site
Anyhow, I think the unmaintained page is allready a
good resource, I
just think it should be more advertised.
Yes. At least a link from the main page would be welcome.
As a more general question to the community, what do
you think about
setting up a system where users can donate money for a certain future
Setting up such a system potentially is a lot of work, so
using existing solutions might be preferable.
http://cofundos.org/
A difficulty: Developers can propose projects there but users cannot
request, AFAIS.
I've created a wiki page, but I mistrust myself, wondering if that offers an
admissible place.
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/user_requests
Not for funding likely, but for a rough overview, what users demand or
developers offer ?
It would be great if such a system could be
implemented in a central
place like
linuxaudio.org,
Hm. People already can donate to most open projects.
For a developer it's a great risk, depending on donations only.
That's why those donate buttons don't help much with the projects progress,
because (often) there is no reliability, transparency, etc.
It's usually a welcome addition for developers, but no
real funding option.
What are the pros and cons of such a system?
