This is not a lot of money, but I hope that the +reward and recognition will encourage some more people to work on git-annex. + +You don't need to know Haskell! You could contribute some interesting and +useful special remote hooks, or write better documentation. + +On the other hand, if you have learned Haskell, this might be your first +chance to make some money with it! Some ideas for things to work on that +would be particularly award-worthy: + +* Port git-annex to IOS, using [ghc-ios](https://github.com/ghc-ios). + I don't plan to ever do this myself, but you could make it happen. +* Get the git-annex assistant working in Windows, building on the existing + port to Windows. Otherwise, this is on my roadmap for February. +* Solve existing [[bugs]] or [[todo]] items. There are more than I can + keep up with. + +The amount of the awards will vary depending on the size of the +contribution. Since this is getting started later than is ideal, +I reserve the right to extend it past the end of the year if I don't get +enough participants. + +If you'd like to participate in this program, just email me at +. --[[Joey]] -- cgit v1.2.3
