[TYPO3-realty] Realty Manager 0.6.0 crowdfunding

[Oliver Klee]

Hi all,

4 years after the release of the Realty Manager 0.5.0 (the current
feature release), I would like to release version 0.6.0. So far, we have
put many hours of programming into new features, clean-up and bug fixes.

These are the major goals for the 0.6.0 release:

- full compatibility with TYPO3 CMS 4.5-6.2
- full compatibility with PHP 5.3-5.5
- full compatibility with static_info_tables 6
- support for Google Maps V3 and Google Geocoding V3
- fix all known bugs
- switch to SwiftMailer so that SMTP is possible
- spam protection for the contact form
- better caching for improved performance
- add, import and display the fields of the "Energieausweis"
- documents that can be attached to objects

The Realty Manager 0.6.0 will be the last feature release based on
pibase. After this, there will be maintenance releases 0.6.1., 0.6.2
etc., and - as a mid-term plan - a complete rewrite for TYPO3 CMS >= 6.2
based on extbase/fluid.

To get version 0.6.0 finished and released, I need your support for
sponsoring the remaining work. I've created a public Google document for
this where I list the goals, the open tasks, the money needed and the
milestones:

You can support this by committing to sponsoring this release with any
amount starting with 100 EUR (plus VAT). All in all, the amount needed
is more than 9000 EUR. I will start programming once I have received
sponsoring commitments for the complete sum.

As a sponsor, you will get the following:

- the warm, fuzzy feeling that you have made this release possible
- a link to your home page in the realty manual
- pre-release versions during development every two weeks

If you would like to support this, please send me a private e-mail
including the net sum you'd like to sponsor and your billing address.

Let's make this release happen!

All the best,


Oliver
