Re: [tdf-discuss] Sponsored Bug Repair ?

Why should'nt TDF go ahead and employ one of the former OOo developers or someone else from the 
community?
I think there would be much interest from users and companys to pay for fixing bugs / implementing 
new features.

Repair or enhancement...
(Side note on the subject: I can imagine that somehow the Python component could be useful.)

Sounds reasonable.
However ... TDF does not employ developers.
Developers are employees of sponsoring companies, or students, or (other) volunteers, or self 
employed...

So either your company makes a deal with one of the supporting companies for the work, or find 
another developer to do the work.

Of course it makes most sense if the developer that picks up the task has experience with 
LibreOffice/OpenOffice.

I have hardly any experience in other open source projects, but I can imagine that setting up a 
page with bounty-projects, is a reasonable approach to broadcast both your and other 
wishes/possibilities.

What do you think?
