Features needing Sponsoring

Issues / Wishes needing Sponsoring

Many ideas and wishes must wait very long to be implemented because the people contributing to 2sxc (and EAV for that matter) are either volunteers picking their own priorites or someone is paying for them. A large part of the development is directly sponsored / paid for by 2sic or by the customers of 2sic wishing for new features.

For that matter, we must often take a wish / request and mark it as needs contribution or sponsoring. If someone contributes a solution we are glad to incorporate it into our code base - assuming the quality etc. is reasonable enough that we can maintain it in the future. But since most wishes don't come with a solution, we will comment and tag them, and then close the issues since many of them won't find a sponsor any time soon.

Here we will list most of these issues - in case someone would like to sponsor one of them. The numbers in brackets (#-#d) represent the estimated days to implement, test and deploy this feature. If you wish to sponsor something, please contact us.
