Then you have to have a SoW first. See = above. This is similar to some of the issues with the GSOC program, the same amount of money can mean something very different depending on the contributors country/cost of life. So it is not really possible to make a fixed price which is fair to everyone. Possibly it should be computed depending on the country of the candidate developer depending on some economic parameter. > (...) > > Whats the worst that can happen ? > = > The project fails because the terms were too vaguely defined.

I can see this happening, but we cannot really predict without trying - and we can learn from failure. Another option would be to have something similar to bounties (e.g. 100$ for each bug fixed - at least this might get low-hanging fruits go away easily). Or with some more organization we migth have the equivalent of FFSOC - although this would be much more complicated to setup (since you have to check with the student status and get the economical part straight, deal with drops-out and so on). _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
