Would it make sense to create actually a project on OC for that?
One idea would be to implement some kind of formal improvement
development cycle.
First step would be to specify what new feature should be implemented.
In the next step a specification is created that provides details about
the interfaces to the current OC web page source code that is needed to
implement the feature.
The advantage would be that in the first stage nearly everybody could
contribute. In the second stage people with insight to the current OC
web source would need to provide input about interfaces.
If that specification is published under an OC project, anyone can read
it and determine whether they want to contribute to the task.
Having done some development myself I know how complex such a task can
become. Especially if it has not been specified thoroughly up front. By
working out first a specification and publishing it, it may help to show
the needed effort and also encourage some more developers to contribute.
Cheers,
Guenter
