[GEM-dev] financing Gem development

[cyrille henry]

hello,
sorry for being unresponsive. I don't have lot's of free time.


All money put on a bounty can be moved to an other bug, and there are lot's of bugs to fix :
https://www.bountysource.com/trackers/1046360-umlaeute-gem
So, don't worry about the money already in the bounty system : it will not be useless.

I put money on the 4 issues that prevent a new release. But I talk to Iohannes and it appear I may have made some mistake. Iohannes should organize a bit the github issue soon. We may have to moved some founding from 1 issue to an other after that. So, let's wait that Iohannes spend few time on github before we announce this bounty to a bigger audience.

About New Blanket, I fail to find a good way to go, since I already start the bounty system, and that I don't have enough free time.
But having this new release in only a 1st steep : there is lot's of other bugs and feature request that are waiting for to long.
So, next time, with a better organization, we will find a way to have NB help us on the founding.

I'm aware that thing moves slowly, but at least they are moving!

cheers
Cyrille

Any word or idea on what's going on there?
