IRIX and Software

Is there a bounty system here?

I haven't seen a nekochan-specific one, but is there any reason that Bountysource couldn't be used?

Doesn't there have to be something wrong with the site for a bounty to be posted? This place is perfect...

I'd contribute to some bounties if others were willing to pool as well!

You bring in the head of an NSA official and I'll see what I can scrounge up ...

I wish for a new Blender release even though I do not own an SGI computer. Now that makes sense doesn't it?
NSA...

I want to start a Blender and Firefox bounty.
Who all is interested?

Microsoft Office...

Libre Office?

Exactly what features do blender and firefox lack that you guys would be willing to bounty the addition of?

I know that Blender has a ton of thing that I could not list here. Unless there is another app. that is better.
Firefox I think needs Java script updated or added.
Office software, I can not say anything about it.

Ah I get it, you mean bounties to add features to the Irix versions of Blender and Firefox! I'm dumb but I'm sure slow...

Anyway, with regard to modeling and animation software, Maya 6.5 on Irix is pretty much feature complete.

For now I'd suggest foregoing the bounties until you get a little more familiar with how to search the forum. There have been several in-depth discussions regarding *why* blender and javascript are in the state they're in, and why changing that would probably require bounties with real numbers followed by a fair number of zeros.

If you want to get involved in a "bounty" with less pie-in-the-sky goals, the nekoware "beta" repository has dozens of applications waiting for release to "current" status - some of them for years. All that's need is for three forum members to test each app and give it a thumbs up.

Might not be a bad idea to turn the bounty concept around the other way. In order to request a software build/port, you have to test at least three beta apps and post your findings.

okay

Now you're cookin' with gas!
