Re: [OCA] Fundraising and community certification

 

If contributor decides where its contribution is going, it might not be the best investment and you leave no room for the OCA board to manage the OCA and reach his objectives. 

When I donate, the organization I am donating to is the best to know where it is needed and useful. We want our donation to be the most effective. 


If you want to decide where donations are going, you'd better join the board.

Dear Eric, Stefan and all, 

I agree with your ideas to making quality signals more clear with more explicit criteria and sets of compatible modules. 

Maybe OCA can have a donations policy where people can contribute to specific projects/modules/features. This might be in combination with offering bounties for some concrete work to be done. If we'd like something like that, we could implement some open idea/task tracking system, ideally with votes for members to set priorities. 

That's some first thoughts but I find this an important discussion to continue exploring. 

Best, 
Wouter Tebbens

Hi Ana, 
Thanks for your input. 
I like the idea of fund raising per community (basically what has been done for Magento). 

Nevertheless, I think there are already available many open tools (lp, apps.openerp.com etc) where people can already freely contribute. I dont think we need to add another one that will add few value to the existing tools. 

I would rather have a clear recognition of the difference made by the community reviewer projects and get them more visible on the OpenERP universe. 

Unrated list of modules are welcome and necessary but end-users will best remember a few sets of useful and workable modules rather than thousands of modules of uneven quality that they cannot test one by one. 

This is why we need to maintain quality modules and set of modules and advertise them to improve current OpenERP image and visibility.

HI everybody: 

My opinion is that fundraising should be made for each community project. 
It can be very complicated founding something that people is contributing. Maybe a little contribution could be needed to mantain the website or any administrative tasks but it would be like paying a marketing site more than contributing on modules. 
I think that community should be totally open and noone can fix if something have got enough quality to be included or not. For any administrative validation task you include on ecosystem more difficult will be mantaining it, more complex would be people to contribute and that's not the objetive of community modules. 
I would prefere having a totally open site where people can download any module, even if it's not documented, even if it's not certified, even if it has not quality and... let people using it including it's value with their comments, votes and so on like hotel reserving websites or any other people mantained site. 
As much valued is a module more people will use it, so more services will sell the contributor so more visibility will obtain with modules. 

On technical side, as much documented, much clear code, much used module more visibility will obtain, so more people will use it, so it will be more tested, so more valuation will obtain. 
On the other side, if someone has got a very good idea about a new blueprint / functionality a new foundrising project could be created to obtain founds to realize that project. 

I don't think so community modules should be fiscalized very much. We need focusing about a place where community can download, comment, report bugs, contribute and value other people contributions. I will agree on contributing in a crowdfunding project to realize this but I don't see very clear contributing to something to cover costs that are not clear yet. 

Thank you very much: 
Ana

Hi Eric, 

It seems to me that the criteria mainly have technical implications. Of course, the concerns you mention are all valid. So what do you think of assigning this seal of approval simply based on whether a module comes from a project which falls under the community review, while making the requirements that you expressed explicit in the reviewing guidelines (maybe after reviewing some existing code for older modules)? 

Cheers, 
Stefan.
