- Maybe possible using OpenSync, but very difficult to deply
Thanks sini, for your hint with OpenSync, but I think that is much to hard to deploy for an average user, who simply wants to use Sunbird with Google-Calendar. An packaged XPI (which might include a preconfigured OenSync) however would be great!

- Thanks for offering the implementation of the Pidgin-Autoupdater
We will give other users some time to have a look at your offer and within a week or so we will happily ask you to start implementing.

- Structured Movie information from DBpedia?
Great project benjamin! However, Wikipedia does contain structured relational information about movies - encoded in infobox templates (which are finally rendered as summary tables on the Wikipedia page). In DBpedia (http://dbpedia.org) we extracted such information - maybe you can make use of it for OMDB?

xtingray, KToon seems to be a very interesting software, but Cofundos is about ideas for future developments. Can you please describe a concrete idea, how KToon should be extendend, so people who bid understand what they will donate money for?!

- Project=Idea
You can do all three: create a project, bid on it and offer to implement it.
Of course you won't have to pay yourself if the majority of the bidders accepted your offer ;-)
Requirements are just a way to structure the project and to collect community contributions.at deleted on 24 Oct 2007 21:08
- Added a more preceise description
How the actual implementation is done can be also suggested somebody with experience in implementing XPI extensions.

You will find some screenshots by searching for "LinkedIn toolbar" on some image search (e.g. http://images.google.com) There is also a description by LinkedIn itself: http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=outlook_toolbar_20_faq

- Not all GTK+ applications might be Web interfaceable
If I think of GIMP for example, it might be hard to imagine a Web interface will be possible. Is there a simple way to decide which applications could be used with a Web interface (e.g. on the basis of the usage of certain GTK+ functions).

- It should be integrated into TexnicCenter
And just the wrapping inside paragraphs should be done. Paragraphs are separated from each other by two (or more) newlines, a single newline does not have any effect for latex and hence can be used inside paragraphs. When I type text inside a paragraph all following (single) newlines should be rearranged thus that, the line-length does not exceed a certain value (e.g. 80 characters). However, the solution should be able to deal with special paragraphs, such as tables, verbatim environment etc, where a rewrapping is undesireable.

- Maybe the support of this social networking site is not essential for now
I think it would be sufficient for now, if the extension is itself extensible so others can easily implement more backends. BTW the correct address is:

at Nautilus+Unison to remote and local synchronization on 29 Nov 2007 01:39
- Isn't that possible already now
Fallen,
First of all, thanks a lot for your offer! However, I have the impression, that a Google-Calendar can be imported and used read-only already now in Sunbird. The intention of this Cofundos project was exactly to implement some kind of "syncronisation" between the Google calendar and the Sunbird calendar. You are writing: "allowing writing events that were added when the user is offline is *not part of this offer*". Maybe the offline-mode you offered here is the first (technical) step towards this, but I guess not what most bidders wanted and were bidding for.
Could you also make an offer, for the mplementation of the full-syncronization functionality?at Syncronization support for Sunbird's Google Calendar Provider (offer Rudimentary Offline Support) on 27 Jan 2008 15:04
- Could be possibly realized as an independent project
This feature somehow seems to be a little more challenging and hence could be implemented also as a subsequent independent Cofundos project. However, the implementation of this project should at least be already compatible with such a later addition.
