Flow on our Bounty page / Marketplace for Covide development

On this page we describe the process very precisely to develop on the project and earn money.

( This page is also available in Dutch)

Once you have achieved a working development environment, you are ready to participate in programming on the Covide project. Recently Covide realised a Bounty page / Marketplace for Covide - development. So developers can earn some money if they want. That sounds nice, but how does it work exactly? These are the eight steps!

1. Go to the Bounty page.
   You read in a glance how the marketplace works. At the bottom of the page you will find a link to the complete list of actual bounty - tickets. Tickets in our Roadmap system, which the team has released to the marketplace.
2. If you see a ticket that you want to work on, then mail this to covidebounty@covide.net.
   The first time we need payment information for after a successful completion. We administrate it in our records.
   
   Your notification means that you agree with the fee (bounty).
3. A member of the Covide team will change the bounty on the bounty list from 'O' to 'P', which means that someone is working on that particular bounty - ticket. We set a deadline for patch delivery in the last column of the sheet list. This means that the ticket is no longer available for other developers to work on untill that date.
4. If you have a SourceForge account (something needed and what you can request for free at the top of the Bounty - page) you accept these ticket on the page behind the link on the list page. 'Reassign' your nickname on SourceForge to supplement and check the 'accept' is also placed. Now it's clear for all other developers that you are busy with the ticket.
5. The development is done naturally in the above-mentioned development.
6. The delivery of the patch is done by uploading the file made with Subversion on our Review Board. (Because it is in a different location, you have te use an account to do so.)
7. On the Review Board your patch will be tested by our team and following approval included in the next deployment to the stable version of Covide (This takes place almost weekly)
8. Directly after this the payment will be made by the use of your preferred method specified in step 2.
