Subject: Cost of Reiser4 Repacker and Resizer
Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2005 13:06:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b14e81f00508081006562197bb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

From what I've heard is that Namesys are interested in creating
Repackers, Resizers, and Converters for Reiser4.  However, I've also
heard the development of these could be "accelerated" with the
assistance of some funds.

In particular, I want to know if there is group fundraising for these
"features", what the quote will be for Namesys to expect to recieve
for:

Resier4 Online Repacker
Reiser4 resizer
ResierFS to Reiser4 Converter

Optionally, I'm also looking at
Reiser4 Windows Driver
Reiser4 Repacker (Online and Offline variants)
optionally.

I was wondering if Namesys is willing to give some quotes for prices
they'd be willing to implement these features for; assuming that the
payment is achieved through group fundraising.  [If the goals aren't
met, at the moment, it appears the course of action will be to refund
all group participants' monies and "cancel" the order.]

Methods for fundraising would also be appreciated; the only method of
fundraising I've seen to date is "Fundable" (fundable.org) -- which
uses Paypal (accepts USD only, atm, even though Paypal supports other
currencies; probably due to the nature of the project); and there are
two drawbacks -- since I don't live in the US myself, I can't
contribute via Paypal (not that I have an account currently anyways),
and the second thing is that for amounts over I believe $500, a
business account is required (which means that fees will be deducted
upon receipt of the funds; see
[https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-receiving-fees-outside&countries=].
 If someone else organizes the Fundable project; and then pays Namesys
via Paypal, then this means that charges will be double-incurred --
the solution thereafter would be to make sure the payments go straight
to Namesys (as opposed to going through a third party). 
Unfortunately, I don't have access to much funds at the moment to get
us started (I'm a minor), but I'm interested to get this moving.

I've heard many proposals for this kind of thing, but I want to see
what the incurred costs should add up to, and hopefully get the ball
rolling.
