CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi!

Ryan here from wegewerk.

There is an on again / off again discussion between German-speaking folks over at socialbar.de/talking-civicrm discussing features that would make CiviCRM more competitive in the German / European market.  There has been wish there to define some of the improvements and make them official "Make it Happen" projects to benefit from the scale of the wider community.  What is the process for users to submit official make it happen projects, and for developers / firms to enroll themselves to implement them (?!)  There is definitely interest from both sides.

Thanks!

I have a slightly different take on this than xavier

In the past we've had 2 MIH's which other developers have taken responsibility for: a Membership MIH and the CiviAccounts MIH

Both the MIH's were done by the developer whose client was a significant funder of the MIH. However going forward, I do envision an ecosystem where different developer shops can participate in the development of various MIH's. It would definitely help if the developers have a client or two that they use to build a well defined spec and help with QA etc. There are a few issues we need to address / resolve as we go down this path, but CiviAccount is a good test case and we'll make progress using that as an example

In your specific case if there are things that your org would be interested in coordinating, raising a MIH and then implementing it, we'd be happy to work with you and start another experiment Xavier's first 3 points still do apply in all cases
