Projects Needing Financing

Hi everyone!

At DrupalCON DC, we demoed some of the work we've been doing on Geo and related modules. We'd like to get these modules to a stable and dependable state so that other mapping solutions, such as GMAP and Openlayers can also be stable and well-supported.

I'm currently the "Manager" of this group but am trying to cut down on my group subscriptions and desire to leave the "Projects Needing Financing" group. When I go to "My Membership" for this group, it states: "You may not leave this group because you are its owner. A site administrator can assign ownership to another user and then you may leave."

So, anyone interested in taking over the group? Please let me know by posting a reply here.

Thank you!
Walt

I've had some time and some funding, so I've roughed in my proof of concept on a D6 version of Geo. In traditional geek style, the most informative descriptions are in my commit messages: http://drupal.org/project/cvs/147736

Basically, my goal is to demystify "geospatial", while integrating it as much as possible within Drupal. It needn't be an academic exercise to get this data working properly, so I've tried to keep things simple. The goals/implementation do the following:

FYI: I started a ChipIn to raise money to improve the Signup module and port it to D6. The development goals that will be accomplished if we raise the money are: a) drive the CCK integration patch home, b) do everything else needed for a 5.x-2.5 release, and c) port to D6.

Why do it need fund?

A bit of history

I initially developed Node Media(NM) as a patch for Node Images(NI) for a custom project. This gained recent attention because the moving to D6. So stefano73(author of NI) pointed NM as successor of NI.

Hi there.
I'm currently working on a Share This module similar to the version available for Wordpress using code compatible for Drupal 5. It will display bookmarking sites within a jquery dropdown and allow you to share your site by clicking on the relevant bookmarking site.

Does anyone require this module and maybe intrested in a bounty? I'm looking for $400 and currently have someone intrested and contributing $100.

Here's an example of the module on a Wrodpress Site: http://alexking.org/blog

Also i've setup a Chipin for this too:

First off, I just joined this group and I'd have to say it's a damn good idea and needed.

I know a lot of people in the community use 37 Signals' Basecamp for their projects and for myself, one thing that has been extremely annoying is the fact that you can never have a central place to go to that aggregates all of your to do list items or milestones from all projects to the same place.

I'm talking even in situations where your client is the one that owns the Basecamp account so then you have to login to theirs.

Drewish has a reverse bounty going to add the ability to use external files with the audio module. This will allow you to have a remote store of MP3 or other audio files, and easily include them in your Drupal site, including in a Flash audio player, using the audio module.

I'm glad Darren Oh has got a solid proposal for this group. I would suggest that the most needed aspect of a Drupal marketplace would be a way for individual Drupal users and Drupal shops – especially smaller shops – to pool resources to fund specific module development.

User dahacouk called for more structure and a funding model to make the quality of contributed modules the best they can be.
