Bounties: --
relatively small promotional awards to be paid for programming
work done to enhance Axiom.
Submissions will be accepted on an "as is" basis. It should be
very clear whether a submission fulfils a specific requirement
or not. A good example would be a MS Windows port of axiom:
The requirements would be (roughly):
* that axiom can be compiled according to step by step instructions
* passes "most" of the tests -- there might be some platform
specific problems, of course, like pathnames and the like
* and the changes are documented.
Similarly, a bounty could be awarded for an SBCL port, when Axiom
actually compiles in this environmnet.
Special awards will be granted for especially good work.
In fact, there are quite a few tasks where a simple operational
result would already be great: pamphlet support on MathAction,
a Windows port, an SBCL or CMUCL port, compiling domains with Aldor,
etc.
The individual items from the WishList and [Summer Of Code] are possible
items for awards.
Here the current proposals:
+--------------------------------+-----+
|Windows port | 50$ |
+--------------------------------+-----+
|pamphlet support for MathAction | 50$ |
+--------------------------------+-----+
|CMUCL/SBCL port |100$ |
+--------------------------------+-----+
|Aldor |200$ |
+--------------------------------+-----+
Note that we really have *no* idea how much work these items
represent although you can be sure that their value to users
of Axiom is far beyond 200$. That is way we refer to a bounty
as an "award" and not as a payment for work accomplished.
<em>**Sidenote**: Many great mathematicians set out prices for proofs
of conjectures they had. Best known are probably the prices of
Paul Erdös. These prices ranged from 10$ (difficult problem)
to (I think) 500$ (only for genius)...</em>
In this spirit, we might set up a second row of bounties, like:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+----+
|implementing Zeilberger | 5$
|
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+----+
|fixing bug #191 exquo and therefore gcd cannot handle UP(x, EXPR INT) | 5$
|
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+----+
