Okay, but how does that fit in with the non-binary view of gender? If it came back 90% male and 10% everything else, I'd guess that you'd conclude that you need to do more outreach, but would you come to the same conclusion if it came back 50% male and 50% female? What if it came back 90% no choice and 10% everything else?
But sign language not only consists of the hand movements. The fingers and lips are important, too. The kinect resolution is not good enough for those right now. And don't forget the facial expressions.
This would change my work from a hobby to being a business. If someone pays for a ticket, the roles change a bit. The person who pays will expect something from you. I personally would not do that. If you like what I do, send me a beer afterwards. Or a gittip or a flattr. But don't pay me money.
> I think maybe each bug could have a pot where people could to put an amount, and if a developer fixed that bug and enough people agreed he would get that pot.
Except leave out this part:
> That way developers could pick the bugs where people are willing to put their money where their mouth is.
Instead, completely hide showing how much money was donated to a bug. From everyone. When a developer fixes a bug, they may get a nice surprise for their contributions, that may further encourage them to work on issues.
A little like GitTip, but you're tipping whoever solves an issue, ahead of time. And because it's invisible, it doesn't make your hobby feel like a job because you don't know which issues are worth the most. (although it may be possible to guess by issue popularity)
Or how about this... There's a hidden pot and every user can only contribute the same amount of money (say $1) to the pot. This way, the value of the pot would more likely reflect the community consenus of issue value to the project.
Basically I am waiting for the Reeder App Guy to Announce what he will do with the app. If he goes the "give me an google api compliant endpoint and it will connect to it", I might use https://github.com/swanson/stringer , looks really promising so far. But I need Reeder to support it first.
Right. I read that, and in hindsight should have used more inclusive wording. Anyway, I really like Feedbin even though it could use a bit more polish (a couple of animations would go a long way e.g. when it is loading an article).
You should use some sort of caching. If you have a wordpress blog, there are several caching plugins that generate files for your Articles. Serving files instead of generating the stuff via php is way faster.
We just wanted this for our statistics to get a feeling if we needed to work on the CfP while it was open to get the outreach we wanted it to have.
