could things like kickstarter be
applied to pd? there are quite a few things i could think of that might get implemented with a few dollar signs on real paper rather than in message boxes ;-) Last month I looked into Google Summer of Code apps, but they explicitly reject documentation- oriented projects (at least from my reading), and since that's one of the main areas that needs work I didn't go much further. I'm between jobs atm, so here's a proposal-- if there's enough financial support for me to survive I'll work on Pd full time. There are plenty of things in the queue like improving tooltips, help patches, tutorials, using Xapian as a search backend, improving the GUI dialogs, etc., but I'll work on anything that can improve the general working state of Pd.
