Code Bounty

I’d like to put some money down… but i’d like to know what you peeps would like to see the bounty encouraging.

Anyone got ideas for drivers (WiFi, Bluetooth, ATi), translators, apps (mozilla, FF), kits, bug fixes etc that they’d like to see some time spent on?

As with all bounties, any code written from scratch would have to fall under the Haiku license; bug fixes & ports (bluez, mozilla) remain with their projects respective license.

what about kernel_intel and app_server? :wink:
mabye network kit? seeing as waldemar (sp) recently left.
iirc, dial-up support is not yet in the network kit

But what I think would be needed is more drivers drivers drivers… but that might be a boring thing to keep saying.

Turn the question around… what is really lacking right now which we really need… IDE driver that work with Haiku so the darn thing can boot properly? Or howabout VST’s since that is Media and something BeOS is supposed to be the best of breed in…

Otherwise this USB stack thingie is something I can also consider v. important…

I’m speaking strictly from a personal standpoint, but a code bounty to do with the networking kit would be ideal IMO. AFAIK Haiku Networking is very BONE-like, and there are quite a few of us who can’t install BONE because it breaks the ability to print. At the same time, not having some of the goodies BONE brings locks you out of a great many things. It’d be nice, for example, to actually have R5 be able to use Postgresql or have Perl actually have socket support. My $0.02.[/i]

The printer preferences panel stops working. You can fix this by finding a haxored version of the panel on BeShare

I have network printed to an LPR-attached HP LaserJet under BONE.

BONE breaks the BInkJet driver that powers HP DestJet printers that gives many of us colour printing :frowning:
