Out source Dolphin. Good idea?

I was wondering if it will be a good idea for boonex to out source dolphin development? Tongue Out The numbers of issues being pointed out I don't think it is possible for a single person to sort them out. Right now many features that can be developed by out sourcing are tagged for next 2 years. By the time those additions will be added they will be out dated. If money is the problem i would suggest to include google ads on boonex website. At least those ads money can provide us with new functionality Wink

Quite possibly the worst idea I have ever heard concerning this site. It is the one thing that would stop me from frequenting this site.  Why deface a company website by making it look cheap with a proliferation of someone else's advertising?  Google ads all over a website make me want to barf.... even worse, I always click the little 'x' in the browser tab.  If I'm ever so desperate for money that I need to resort to Google ads, I think I'd just have to kill myself.

They've already done this. Anyone can fork the Github repository and submit code for approval.  If you mean they should pay someone else to develop Dolphin, you could probably search for a year, and not find someone as qualified as AlexT to develop Dolphin.  You'd have Frankencode all over the place, by handing over things to some third party.  The Boonex team would probably spend more time reviewing work than they would coding it themselves. From what I've seen in 7.2 so far, I believe all the right guys are working on Dolphin.

My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees.

I have no doubt in AlexT ability to sort out things for dolphin but in the end he is a human. So time is the limitation here and it would be nice to have helping hands whom can be rewarded in the end by cash. Only solution is to monetize the boonex website instead of finding more and more customers for a unfinished product.

 Thats not how you do things in a commercial product.

I am getting a bit tired of seeing comments about Dolphin being an unfinished product.  Dolphin is a platform that is in active development and as such, there will always be changes in the platform as new technologies arrive and new ideas develop.  Using the same viewpoint as those complaining about Dolphin being unfinished, then one can say that Windows is an unfinished product, that Linux is an unfinished product.

Geeks, making the world a better place

Yes, they are. Thats what i have been saying, comparing a software product with some physical object like a car is not even practical, software is never finished. All software have bugs, it just a matter of minimising them.
