I wonder if https://gitcoin.co/how/funder might be a useful tool to help get software packaged?

A new Github issue queue could be set up for App requests?

Is Gitcoin something @staff have considered?

Appsmith is a JavaScript-based visual development platform to build and launch internal tools quickly. Use pre-built UI widgets, connect them to your APIs and databases to build dynamic apps and complex workflows.

Integration with https://amberlink.org/ would be interesting.

@girish Great, I'll check and see what budget I have available.

@bubonicfred @girish any progress on Loomio? Just trialling it in our organisation and inclusion would make the case for Cloudron stronger for us.

@jdaviescoates @doodlemania2 @kaxline Has anyone done any work on Humhub? I'm pretty keen and may be able to pay if I had an idea of how much work it would be.

@sam_uk Just to update @atrilahiji is going to take a look at this one over the next couple of weeks.

@ianhyzy you could reach out to @atridad he did a great job of packaging Humhub for me.

@girish Great thanks. What are the next steps for getting this in the app store, please?

@girish I take your broad point. The problem Gitcoin solves is transparency and visibility for devs, a marketplace.

Say I have a bit of budget from an organization, I know what I need packaging.

What do I do now? Browse the forum looking for people who I think might be reliable?

Maybe other people also want this app packaged and they may be able to contribute to the cost. How do I find those people?

Maybe I'm just some joker and don't have any money at all, I'm just trying to get people to do free work. How do dev's know I'm reliable?

It's all a load of time-consuming research. If there was an established transparent process it could make it simpler . I open my issue, set the target at $1000 or whatever, contribute what I can. When it reaches the target we see if anyone's interested in doing the work. The people who do good work will grow a reputation.

@atridad I'm getting a cert error on your repo.

@girish Gitcoin works from Github tickets, so if you wanted to try the Gitcoin approach then an issue queue where people can open packaging requests would be helpful I think.

@doodlemania2 Ah no worries, thanks for letting us know.

I wonder if @ATRILAHIJI could take a look at it and estimate the work involved?

@doodlemania2 Great stuff, thanks..

@girish and @nebulon would Gitcoin be useful for getting apps packaged up?
