Hello,

I've check Iohannes github: There is not a lot's of release critical issue.

Image, film and video under osX and having a way to compile for window and the main issues.

There is also lot's of stuff regarding FTGL, but they look to be obsolete. At least, we will know if they are obsolete after being able to compile Gem on the concerned platform.

Since Iohannes is currently too buzzy to help, I think we should organize development in 2 parts :

1st : doing the minimum to have Gem usable on all platform.
We could then release a v0.94 and use it to test on lot's of computer and reporting all bugs.
Then, a 2nd development round could create a 0.94.1 bugfix release with a longer lifetime.

if there is no objection, I will have a look at the platform we could use to centralize financing and stuff.
cheers

Bonjour Cyrille,

This sounds good, there was the idea of some bounty system years ago too.
I think it's crucial for this process to

1. break up the job in small manageable parts

yes, that's the idea of using the github bug tracker. Spiting jobs in bugs.
(and use flags to create priorities)

2. well define their scope and define what "job completed" entails

I think it imply that the push request is accepted, and the code is merged upstream.

3. set up a system that doesn't come with a huge administration overhead

yes, this is a problem.
The reduce amount of developers interested in this job will make things simpler.

It almost seem there should be a platform for this out there...

yes, I don't think administration will be a show stopper.

this one looks like it parses github issues.. kind of shady.

Hello,

Since the "get money, paid a developer" idea arise on the mailing list, I spend last weeks trying to think how to organize the last bit of development that need to be done.

I think we need a clear roadmap : a list of all object / platform that need to be fixed. My proposition is to use/update the bugtracker and to organize everything that need to be done under the "release critical" tag. There is a bit of work there. For example "native film reading in osX/64 bit" is not mark as release critical.
Also, there is 2 critical bug regarding W32 build : do we need to be able to compile Gem on mingw AND mscv?

With this list of "release critical" bugs, it will be easier to estimate the work that need to be done. It will allow to estimate the development time, and the bounty we could offer for this work.

With the financial help of New Blankets, other institutions, associations or users, I confident that we will be able to finance this work (or part of this work).

does this sound good?

cheers
Cyrille
