Development 2.0

(proposed by Jstaniek (talk) 10:37, 18 June 2014 (BST)) ​​ Is it still possible to fund development from contributors' "pockets" (time contributions mostly) AND grow? We need to agree on possible options to engage users and attract investors.

Calligra is a great, respected and unique project, and it's 1.7 M lines of code.

But Calligra is currently a project of two speeds. Some apps achieved ZERO mph. Recently mostly Kexi and Krita push it all forward.

  • Growing user base
  • Challenges in deployment: insufficient (quality) control, fragmentation on Linux; ideas to address that
  • Importance of non-Linux targets: Windows, Mac, Web (cloud?) for the development model (paying customers)
  • Review of goals, message, communication channels
  • Possible need for loosening connections between Calligra apps (organizational, technical) brings more reality, but it's not loosening connections in the community!
