Good luck with the startup! I assume then the netflix need is not business related. You still should do the legwork to figure out which s/w, if any, allows the viewing on Netflix on FreeBSD. It's fine to say, "I want netflix", and a consultant would run with those customer requirements, but volunteers: not so much. I'm just giving you suggestions to increase your odds of success. > I really don't have the time. :-( Besides, haven't coded outside of > scripting in quite a while. Makefiles are comparable to scripting. You aren't doing any coding yourself unless the s/w requires patches to work on FreeBSD. Makefiles are basically a set of instructions on how to build the s/w and in many cases it's limited to "run the makefile that comes with the s/w" and the whole thing is like 20 lines long in the best cases. So I suspect you have the basic skills unless the word "compiler" is foreign to you. :) > If the company is a success, I plan on having it financing a lot of > projects. :-) Which is another option for you: bounties. A bounty is a small payment offered for a specific job, so you could always say $50 for anyone that produces this for me. I've never participated in bounties myself (on either side) but at least it's an option. > Once I retire (less than 15 years.... yeah, I'm old), I plan on > spending a lot of free time working for FreeBSD/ports/documentation. > :-) Which would be great!
