Man, long time i didn't get that excited with programming stuff ( this year i'll make 15 years of programming ) - like programming shit instead of sleeping, the day my boss/coworkers start to find my late posts in the chuck list i'll be probably fired! HAHA
This is really great to hear.
Hopefully i'll be able to do some push requests to the project in this year ( i have some unfinished projects in the priority + dayjob ).
Completely changing the direction of the conversation, i know some instituions sometimes give sponsor$hip for a period of development in open source software, did anybody from chuck team tried that ?
Well, Princeton and Stanford more or less sponsor ChucK by employing (most of?) the developers and of course by providing ChucK with web-space. I could imagine more of that. In the past I have speculated that there might be a institute willing to sponsor some development on making ChucK and the MiniAudicle more accessible to blind users. We have some people on board who are visually challenged and when I look at mainstream music programs I can quite easily see how they would end up with ChucK or a similar system. That said; there are reportedly still some less than ideal bits for those users. That's just one area where I could imagine that there might be some funding and where somebody might pick it up and help improve the world a bit. There are likely many more. Nice to read a mail as enthusiastic as yours. Rock on! Kas.
