Thanks, I added your ideas.
http://www.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/WO+Builder+Ideas
It's a Wiki so anyone can create an account and add content. (Maybe
it's better to move a feature system like JIRA once the actual work
starts and the features are clearly defined ?)
I guess two things would need to be defined.
- Volunteers show up or a fundraiser could match the wishlist and
people interested. I'm all for doing it without money involved, but I
have doubts it will happen for WO Builder after reading the comments
and the fact there was no prior attempt.
As an idea, a fundraiser could get things moving toward a first
version or at least a prototype. Compared to what WO used to cost ( $
699 ?) or what a copy of Visual Studio sells for I came up with these
figures on the Apple list :
Large Company (say, 10+ developers): $ 500
Small Company: $ 250
Individuals : $ 100
Students: $ 50
Too high, too low ? The amounts could go directly to the developer(s)
eg. using PayPal to keep things simple.
Maybe someone has time between two projects to work on this or a few
weeks or month and would be willing to work at a low monthly rate to
cover costs.
- It would be helpful if Apple would say when their developer tool
info is made public, ie. before or only after Leopard ships ? I just
asked about this on the WO list.
I won't have much time in the coming weeks, so I just wanted to get
these ideas out as a basis for discussion :)
