Re: [m2e-dev] Removal of "look-for-funding" tag in official repo
|
Hi Mickael,
sorry for confusion, feel free to remove it in the meanwhile.
I just think we should tag feature (request) somehow that are (yet) not
profitable enough to be addressed by any of the committer of the project
and thus would require some kind of invest (e.g. offering some money,
developer-time, ...) because I found that people are getting frustrated
why "their" feature does not get addressed for a long time.
Maybe we can find a better name for this...
I'm thinking for instance, we could add a note about funding
opportunities in the CONTRIBUTING.md, with a clear rule of who can be
added here or not. Eg "those active contributors (more than 1 patch
merged in the last 6 months) can be sponsored to work on m2e in general,
or on particular issues:"
I think funding can also be company allowing one of its developers to
invest time/contribute directly to a feature but for sure it would be
good to list opportunities of developers willing to offer 'direct'
support would be good!
I sometimes use the follwoing snippet if I found it suitable, maybe
something similar can be used for CONTRIBUTING.md,
---- snip ----
At least you have the following options to give more priority on your
feature/bug report:
- Provide a small (executable) reproducer that shows your problem in
form of a github repo, even better provide an itest showing your problem
- Provide a patch that fixes the problem, its all open source and
everyone is encourage to participate!
- You can sponsor XXXXX (or search for someone else with java skills)
and offer a funding for a feature or bug-fix if you need enterprise-support

Hi all,
I see a "look-for-funding" issue tag has been added to the GitHub repo.
I'm going to remove it.
The reason is that from project perspective and tracking, funding is
totally off-topic and may actually be interpreted as the feature being
assigned and not open to contributions. Developers may individually
mention they can be funded to work on it, on their behalf, in the
comments, but this is not something the project should advertise in the
issue management.
However, we can consider other approaches to promote developers funding.
But before actually doing anything, please discuss it here or on issues
or on reviews.
Cheers
