Help needed for Simple Backup development.
I have long understood that to make a good free software project, having
multiple authors/contributors is essential. To that end, while I am
fixing bugs and writing a few new features into the main SBackup
codebase (see
Changelog), I am
inviting new people to contribute to SBackup development.
Many
users have a need for an essential feature - backup to removable media.
With current architecture of SBackup this goal is quite easy to achieve,
but it would take a lot of time away from bugfixing and some other
important features that I
plan to do
before 1.0. Also this feature is very independent of the rest of code,
so I think it would be great way for somebody else to help the
development of SBackup to become the ultimate simple backup system for
desktops and servers alike. I have written a
specification
of how the new functionality (codenamed BackupBurner) should function
and there is already a half-ready Glade interface in the source code.
So
- volunteers, please step forward out of the cosy confines of the
lazyweb :)
