The problem with volunteer 're-factoring' work, is that although people mean well when they offer their assistance, it doesn't usually work out... They'll often spend a couple of weeks working on the task, get bored, figure they'll take a break and come back to it later, and it never gets completed. Offering financial renumeration means that the work is more likely to be completed, because there's a tangible pay off after it's finished. Sorry to by cynical, but that's my experience of things; and yes i've been on both sides. -Arran On May 18, 2010, at 5:35 AM, Jack Martin wrote:
I would be willing to help as well-if its a collaboration. I can't code and this would be a way to give back. The money could be used someplace it's really needed.

Hi,
I'd definitely be willing to help out with this task. Particularly if it could be turned into a collaborative effort.
Money is nice, however my primary motive would actually be to contribute to an outstanding piece of software that has been essential in my job. So, should I become involved in this effort you can happily use the money elsewhere. :)
Best Regards, Johannes R-E

In the interest of making the project better, we're looking for an editor for the documentation. The existing documentation is an "ad hoc" collection of files thrown together over a decade of effort, and written by many different people.
We'd like to organize the documentation ("doc/" directory), and clean it up. We're looking for an editor with the following skills:
