When you say you strongly disagree with giving prices does that mean you are also against doing the feature request? Would you be more interested if we said "please fix it and send us the bill afterwards"
- Assuming you wouldn't take the piss and code it by typing one
character per day charging a day rate for the work. Or are you saying you just aren't interested in paid requests at all? If not would you be adversed to us having a dev work on it then sending you guys the patch for review?
It's not that I'm against doing feature requests, it's that I'm not so much of a fan of the whole process.
I don't like dealing with commercials, and I find setting pricing for things somewhat uncomfortable. There's a reason the subscription price is the most obvious round number one could think of...
I especially don't like pricing things for people who then mysteriously vanish, as if they were expecting that open source === free coding. I pretty much gave up pricing anything a year or so ago because that seems to be the result 95% of the time.
Please let me know if you are happy for us to fix this feature, how you prefer it done.
We don't mind if you want to code it yourselves, but we are sometimes a little picky on what we'll commit back to the codebase (because we have to maintain it (or remove it) in the future).
