Funambol Community Code Sniper Program launch

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Funambol Community Code Sniper Program.

The main goal of the program is to broaden interoperability of the Funambol mobile application server to connect with as many useful, widely-requested applications and services as possible (based on feedback from community members). This feedback was generated primarily from a series of surveys that were presented to the community over the past few months.

Also based on this feedback, Funambol is responding by refocusing its efforts to better address community demands (e.g. the MS Exchange and Lotus Domino Connectors were the most widely requested Connectors in the survey and, therefore, will be made available with the GA release of Funambol v3.0 in the coming weeks).

Another goal of the Code Sniper Program is to make sure contributors to these community-requested projects are widely recognized and well rewarded (with bounties of up to $2000). The Funambol Community is full of talented developers and these people should have a chance to shine.

Code Sniper Highlights:
Participating community members will follow a 5-stage process which
includes: 1-selecting a project, 2-submitting a general one-page proposal, 3-submitting a more detailed product specification, 4-delivering the code, 5-submitting to community testing. See here for all program details:

This is an exciting time for the Funambol Open Source Community. I'm sure everyone is eager to see what the community can produce for this program.
Let the Code Sniping begin!
