[add-art dev] ff3 problem on rent a coder

[Michael Mandiberg]

I don't know if your ticket is clear enough for someone to jump in and  
fix the problem.  I think you should either include a bit more history/ 
explanation in the ticket, or in the RAC spec.  Rmbr, the more  
explicit you are, the better your results will be.

I have had some work coded on RAC.  I have found it really easy to get  
good work done that follows standard protocols.  e.g. PHP work,   
screenscraping, API building, etc.  I have found it really really hard  
to get good work done that doesn't follow standard protocols.  Esp  
things that prompt people to ask "but why would you want to do that"

i have found it really helpful to make it loud and clear that the work  
is open source, and the developer will get credit. that is the kind of  
"cool" factor that doesn't show up on RAC much.  so the person who  
will get *why* you are doing this project, will also be psyched that s/ 
he will get credit and that the proj is OS

also FWIW, the test project I posted w/ Greasemonkey was a total  
failure.  no one on RAC could wrap their head around GM.  i wasted a  
lot of time with a guy who said he knew, but didn't.  hopefully XBL/ 
XUL will be more plentiful.

keep us posted on the results
