(Artemis) BountySource account

[misfire]

It already has been said, but I think this deserves a thread of its own.

Project Artemis now has a BountySource.com account:
https://artemis.bountysource.com/

Read this if you are unfamiliar with BountySource.

The site provides a SVN code repository. The sources can be checked out this way:

$ svn co https://svn.bountysource.com/artemis

If you are a developer and want to participate, feel free to sign up and you'll get the permissions to add source code to our repository.

Also, tasks can have a monetary bounty placed on them from users willing to donate something. So this can be win-win-situation for both users and developers.

[Lazy Bastard]

Yes, I believe BountySource will really help the project.

[Parasyte]

I've been thinking about donating to a bounty, but I'm not sure which one, yet. I don't want it to be a simple grab, but I also don't want it to be a holy grail. I am considering a decent amount of cash, obviously...

[Lazy Bastard]

You can also submit a task, and after it's approved, put a bounty on it...in case the current available tasks are not suitable for your bounty, heh.

And, that would be awesome. The more help and "inspiration" for developers, the better

[Parasyte]

That's a good point; I've submitted a task for approval!

[Lazy Bastard]

And I've approved it

[Parasyte]

Then you have yourself the first bounty for the Artemis project.

[Lazy Bastard]

Nice! Thanks for contributing, man (and nice touch with 2^8). Actually, I did make a small bounty earlier for dump2mass, which misfire built. But, this (thankfully) trumps mine, heh.

[Parasyte]

Ah! So that means a bounty was already recovered, and I can no longer find any reference to it?

[Lazy Bastard]

I just hadn't properly displayed Closed tasks; I've fixed that. However, old bounty amounts are apparently not shown...

[misfire]

I guess this should add some security, so no one can track your bounties and rob you...

[Lazy Bastard]

Heh. Still, it would be nice to show new members that older tasks have indeed paid off. Perhaps I'll find a way to manually add it...so, erm, carry your stun-gun when walking out to the BountySource parking lot at night

[Parasyte]

Still, it would be nice to show new members that older tasks have indeed paid off.

Exactly. In the meantime, there is at least one which I imagine will stick around for a while (and could possibly grow, as time moves on). Unless some no name hacker pulls it out of their ass. Of course, stranger things have happened.

[Lazy Bastard]

And either way, the outcome will be great

My enthusiasm for allowing everyone to easily hack the PS2 has not waned since the beginning.

[misfire]

Looks like BountySource is experiencing some problems.

I've not been able to reach the site since last Friday.

EDIT: They are finally back online!
