I work for an ISP in New Zealand, and we're (somewhat bravely) using RoundCube as our public-facing webmail service.
We've had lots of feedback from our customers, and while many see RoundCube as a great improvement on our old webmail system, a minority have had problems, and a few are so upset they're even threatening to close their accounts.
We have some in-house developers, but they lack experience in the product so they can't yet provide sufficiently rapid responses.
So we have a financial interest in seeing the project advanced as quickly as possible, and therefore are willing to offer sponsorship either to the project as a whole, or to individuals if needs be.
The issues we need immediate assistance with include:
- When deleting multiple messages, move them to the Trash folder rather than deleting outright.
Preferably go shift-click-on-delete (or similar) to delete messages outright. - Some types of in-line content are not displayed.
I suspect they're construed as "attachments", but no link to them is presented. - If one selects multiple messages then deselects all but one, it behaves as if multiple messages are selected and triggers the "really delete" prompt.
- Problems logging in with Netscape 7.2 and Safari on MacOSX, and possibly other browsers too.
- User-configurable session time-out.
- Sensible error message for "attachment too big"; sometimes attachments disappear between the user and the recipient, other times they just stop uploading without saying why.
- More memory-efficient handling of attachments, thus allowing larger attachments.
(We have customers who want to send 20MiB attachments, which bloats Apache up to over 150MiB process memory.) - Sometimes shows "no messages" at the end of a list of messages [we have a patch, where do we send it?]
- On a new message, can't add a recipient from the address book [solved - but needs documentation]
Obviously we'd be delighted if some of them are already fixed, or are simply a matter of configuration.
Which form of payment would people see as being more appropriate: sponsorship to the project, or payment to individuals? And what is the going rate? (We're expecting somewhere around 100-500 Euros per bug, but hourly rates would also be considered.)
