  25. <h3>Special Thanks</h3>
  26. <p>Ongoing development of Typica is made possible through the
  27. generous financial contributions from the following:</p>
  28. <p>Water Street Coffee Roaster</p>
  29. <p>La Cosecha Coffee Roasters</p>
  30. <p>Anonymous Funders Through
  31. <a href="https://www.gratipay.com/N3Roaster/">Gratipay</a></p>
  32. <p>Hardware for developing Phidgets 1048 support was provided
  33. by Phidgets, Inc.</p>
  34. <h3>Get Involved</h3>
  35. <p>Typica has reached a point in its development where it can
  36. be considered mature with a feature set appropriate for many
  37. coffee roasting firms. There is, however, considerable variety
  38. among roasting firms in the equipment used, roasting styles,
  39. process traceability requirements, languages understood, and
  40. other preferences. There is also still considerable room for
  41. improvement in many areas. The development of Typica has been
  42. on a budget of approximately $0, but software development is
  43. not without cost. This is especially the case for cross
  44. platform development of software that interfaces with external
  45. hardware. These are some of the things that could be done with
  46. additional funding:
  47. <ul>
  48. <li>Improve development and testing infrastructure.
  49. This would allow more complete testing of release
  50. candidates on all platforms and greatly increase the
  51. quality and speed at which new releases could be made
  52. available.</li>
  53. <li>Purchase additional measurement devices. Interest
  54. has been expressed in using many types of hardware not
  55. currently supported in Typica. Some of these
  56. suggestions are quite reasonable and the only reason I
  57. am not able to include support for them is simply that
  58. I do not have a sample of the hardware to test my code
  59. against.</li>
  60. <li>Pay for web hosting. While the Internet allows
  61. free software to be distributed cheaply, this is not
  62. without cost.</li>
  63. <li>Allow more development time. As of this writing,
  64. nobody has contributed any improvements to Typica's
  65. program code. This has all been designed and written
  66. by a single person working on it as time is available.
  67. Many of the planned improvements require nothing beyond
  68. time to plan an implementation, to write the program
  69. code, to integrate it with the rest of the program, and
  70. to test that the feature is sound. With sufficient
  71. sustained funding it would be possible to devote more
  72. time to continuing development, resulting in a more
  73. rapid release of features and other improvements to
  74. Typica.</li>
  75. </ul>
  76. </p>
  77. <p>Financial assistance toward these ends can be sent (checks
  78. payable in US dollars preferred) to:</p>
  79. <p>Neal Wilson<br />
  80. c/o Wilson's Coffee &amp; Tea<br />
  81. 3306 Washington Ave.<br />
  82. Racine, WI 53405<br />
  83. USA</p>
  84. <p>All who contribute in this way will be thanked in the
  85. Special Thanks section seen above in the next public release,
  86. so please indicate if you would like to be identified by your
  87. name, your company name, or in some other way.</p>
  88. <p>Anonymous funding can also be made through
  89. <a href="https://www.gratipay.com/N3Roaster/">Gratipay</a>. While
  90. it is not possible to verify and recognize those who help
  91. provide funding in this way, the small weekly payments are
  92. easier to plan around than larger one time contributions.</p>
