Re: [xwiki-users] Guidance on sponsoring

Thanks Vincent, I'd missed the professional support option, and that's well worth considering. Yes, might be worth adding to the FAQ. It might also be worth giving the professional support option some prominence alongside the sponsor option on JIRA. ----- Reply message ----- From: &quot;vincent(a)massol.net&quot; &lt;vincent(a)massol.net&gt; To: "Bryn Jeffries" &lt;bryn.jeffries(a)sydney.edu.au&gt;au>, "XWiki Users" &lt;users(a)xwiki.org&gt; Subject: [xwiki-users] Guidance on sponsoring Date: Thu, Dec 4, 2014 19:14 Hi Bryn, On 4 Dec 2014 at 01:58:25, Bryn Jeffries (bryn.jeffries@sydney.edu.au(mailto:bryn.jeffries@sydney.edu.au)) wrote: May I suggest that you look at the professional support page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support The companies listed will do support but also specific/custom development. Now your other options is also to use sponsorfreedem and place one or several bounties with a price tag and hope someone from the community will pick them up. I have no idea regarding the price and what would be acceptable though, as you say it’s new. You could check the stats here https://freedomsponsors.org/stats/ and see which bounties were done and paid. You could also check the amounts listed at https://www.bountysource.com/. So you have 2 options for custom dev: - professional: more expensive but done professionally, quickly, within your schedule, with support thereafter if bugs are found - community: less expensive but not sure someone will get interested and less sure about deadlines So I guess it depends on the budget you have and your timeline. Hope it helps, -Vincent PS: Maybe we should put a FAQ with this content somewhere on xwiki.org<http://xwiki.org>, WDYT?
