Donationcoder.com Bounty [ENGAGED]

admin — Mon, 26 Dec 2005 18:30:50 +0000

Donationcoder.com is running a programming contest to write an open source mod for the SMF forum system and they’re offering $100 and nore than $200 in software:

We’re looking to make 2 mods for the smf (simplemachines) forum system, that will let the mediawiki wiki system, and the mantis bugtracker system share smf login info.

The final result must be made open source and shared with the SMF community. We will be happy to provide web space for the programmer who writes this so that they can maintain a page on it (and for any other smf or open source mods they might want to write).

Familiarity with SMF forum, mantis, mediawiki will help (.php and MySQL)

GNOME Bounty

GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following project is worth $300:

Drag and Drop between Gnome and Firefox

Currently dragging and dropping back and forth between nautilus and firefox is very problematic. Bookmarks and copying actions are easily confused with surprising results.

What we’d like to see: Dragging a bookmark .desktop file to Firefox should open the url the bookmark file contains, not the bookmark file itself. Dragging an http: uri from firefox to the desktop should ask you if you prefer to download the file or make a bookmark point to the location. If a desktop bookmark is created the resulting .desktop file should specify a hyperlink icon (or possibly use the shortcut icon if the link points to an html page).
