GetPaid proposed for GSoC Project
I'm really hoping GetPaid gets a boost this summer from focused efforts to improve the project through Google funding as part of the Google Summer of Code!
Plone was accepted again as a mentoring organization in the Google Summer of Code, where Google pays students to code in open source projects. Now the challenge is getting good proposals from students - and the deadline is April 3 at 19:00 UTC!
GetPaid is one of the proposed project for the GSoC. In particulare, work is proposed to refactor the checkout wizard to make it more flexible to developers and more accomodating to off-site payments (ie enter your credit card details directly on the payment processor's site).
This is a very important part of the development of GetPaid, and paves the way to a new major version and eventually a 1.0! If you are a mentor, we hope you will review the proposal and add notes.
Taking advantage of the time leading up to when GSoC coding starts, we will be working to refine the requirements and get feedback from the GetPaid community.
If you have comments or ideas, please share on our mailing list! If you want to apply as a student, check out this note.
