- <h3>Special Thanks</h3>
- <p>Ongoing development of Typica is made possible through the
- generous financial contributions from the following:</p>
-
- <p>Pinnacle Coffee Roasting</p>
- <p>Anonymous Funders Through
- <a href="https://www.gittip.com/N3Roaster/">Gittip</a></p>
-
- <h3>Get Involved</h3>
- <p>Typica has reached a point in its development where it can
- be considered mature with a feature set appropriate for many
- coffee roasting firms. There is, however, considerable variety
- among roasting firms in the equipment used, roasting styles,
- process traceability requirements, languages understood, and
- other preferences. There is also still considerable room for
- improvement in many areas. The development of Typica has been
- on a budget of approximately $0, but software development is
- not without cost. This is especially the case for cross
- platform development of software that interfaces with external
- hardware. These are some of the things that could be done with
- additional funding:
- <ul>
- <li>Improve development and testing infrastructure.
- This would allow more complete testing of release
- candidates on all platforms and greatly increase the
- quality and speed at which new releases could be made
- available.</li>
- <li>Purchase additional measurement devices. Interest
- has been expressed in using many types of hardware not
- currently supported in Typica. Some of these
- suggestions are quite reasonable and the only reason I
- am not able to include support for them is simply that
- I do not have a sample of the hardware to test my code
- against.</li>
- <li>Pay for web hosting. While the Internet allows
- free software to be distributed cheaply, this is not
- without cost.</li>
- <li>Allow more development time. As of this writing,
- nobody has contributed any improvements to Typica's
- program code. This has all been designed and written
- by a single person working on it as time is available.
- Many of the planned improvements require nothing beyond
- time to plan an implementation, to write the program
- code, to integrate it with the rest of the program, and
- to test that the feature is sound. With sufficient
- sustained funding it would be possible to devote more
- time to continuing development, resulting in a more
- rapid release of features and other improvements to
- Typica.</li>
- </ul>

- <p>Financial assistance toward these ends can be sent (checks
- payable in US dollars preferred) to:</p>
- <p>Neal Wilson<br />
- c/o Wilson's Coffee & Tea<br />
- 3306 Washington Ave.<br />
- Racine, WI 53405<br />
- USA</p>
- <p>All who contribute in this way will be thanked in the
- Special Thanks section seen above in the next public release,
- so please indicate if you would like to be identified by your
- name, your company name, or in some other way.</p>
- <p>Anonymous funding can also be made through
- <a href="https://www.gittip.com/N3Roaster/">Gittip</a>. While
- it is not possible to verify and recognize those who help
- provide funding in this way, the small weekly payments are
- easier to plan around than larger one time contributions.</p>
