PledgeBank ?

by Vincent Thomasset

Hi Jorge, What do you think of trying to raise some funds using pledgebank ? I know this is not really the type of funding you're expecting for Dillo, but it should be interesting to see if there's a response. Considering what recently happened to the nouveau project [1] (someone raised 1300+ 10$ donations in their name), if think it could be interesting to take the chance. On a related note, the FOSDEM will be held 5 minutes away from my place, i could drop some "Fund Dillo" posters there to get some publicity. What do you think ? Cheers, Vincent

I see a lot of comments to the article like "gtk1 ? no i am > not interested in joining the project.". It would be more interesting to find comments like: "Hmmm, a new Dillo, with FLTK2, I'm interested in joining the project!" If that happens don't hesitate to contact me. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Hi John, First of all, thanks for checking the project. Hero go some answers... On Wed, Jan 10, 2007 at 09:58:37PM -0800, John Gutierrez wrote: > Jorge, > > Will you site be updated anytime soon.

The Dillo project is currently frozen. I'm expecting the vacation season in Germany to end to communicate with Sebastian and update the site with an official statement of the current situation. (I've tried to reach him since late 2006 so I assume he's on holidays). The latter time was spent trying to rise funds for continuing the development with at least two people working full time on it. Funding didn't happen so I had to take a job, and as Sebastian had a job, the situation now is we're both on a spare time basis that in practice has been close to nil. OTOH, the port to FLTK2 has gone very good with no surprises and a very good transition. The problem is lack of manpower because of lack of funds. The project is frozen because it is impossible to develop a web browser (very complex task), keeping pace with the evolving technologies, by working on a spare time basis. The web site will be updated after I have a virtual meeting to discuss the points with Sebastian, or in mid February, whatever comes first. -- Cheers Jorge.-
