Very ambitious. Well, if you think you can raise that amount, and you think developers will want to work for that amount... best of luck with this. We in GNOME are spread too thin right now, and +10 paid developers would be a huge help. > ## About the workers and the softwares > > Having getting the money, the current strategy would be as follows, > in > summary: > > 1.

OSTree seems relatively mature, but isn't really being used on the desktop, except by Endless; not sure that should be a priority. xdg-app is important; it needs help in the sandboxing department, and work on porting existing GNOME apps to xdg-app, but this is a priority for Red Hat so not sure it should be for Autonomia. GNOME Shell has a huge Bugzilla queue, but I don't normally notice bugs and we've intentionally stopped with the UI changes as the design has matured, so not sure that should be a priority. GTK+ already has lots of experienced developers and doesn't need more help. Designers are really important, but the ones we already have are generating top-notch designs faster than we can implement, so I wouldn't invest there. Brazilian Portuguese has 98% translation coverage of GNOME 3.18 and 96% of GNOME 3.20; you could close the gap, but probably that won't be a full-time job? I would focus more effort on the GNOME core apps and less on the other areas. Music and Web from your list could use one dedicated developer apiece, for example, and I have a sizable list of other promising apps that could as well: Chat and News immediately spring to mind. I think right now our apps story is where we're weakest; since most of the apps are not so important for enterprise customers, Red Hat doesn't seem to care about them as much. > Michael Catanzaro probably remember me, for my last contribution > attempt (a > bunch of designs for GNOME Web). Of course, you were very helpful. :) Wishing you the best with Autonomia, Michael -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
