Funds for Re: Open XML Filter
@Andrea you said if we want to do something we should reach out. So I think this might be a thing:
How about creating a project plan, estimates for a budget and then start a campaign?
We could also check if we can staff the team introducing the people to interested financiers.
Which dev would be interested in general?
All the best
Peter

Hi -
A third party entity could be formed to pay for development. An architecture and roadmap created either “there” or in the AOO project. Then developers could be recruited and paid.

Dave

I think that getting money would not be the hardest part. The hardest
part would be to find people who are trusted and competent enough. The
code is complex and different people have different competences, and
this should be taken into account too.

Andrea.
