Fund a Developer: moneromoo will work part-time on Monero fo[...]

moneromoo is well-known contributor with a string of commits and good pull requests: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commits/master?author=moneromooo-monero

I personally support his application for funding, as does the rest of the core team. He has committed to working for 260 hours over 6 months or so (until they run out) at a total cost of 7800 XMR, ie. 30 XMR per hour. This is obviously a vastly reduced rate for a competent C / C++ developer, and moneromoo is taking on the effort in his spare time in the hopes that the XMR will be worth significantly more some day.

Milestones will be time based, with 1300 XMR released every 45 hours worked (or 35 hours for the last bit). As with all funding using the FFF (forum funding system) the funds will only be released to him on completion of a milestone and on a general community agreement that there was work done in that period. He will not be expected to put in a timesheet, per se, but he will be expected to provide a list of things he worked on and associated PRs / commits for that period.

Just wanted to state that the discussion regarding this subject can be found here -> https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/328/funding-a-developer-to-work-full-time-on-monero-for-1-or-2-years?sort=date_desc (for those who haven't followed it). I'll donate some as well later on!

Also to add - work starts as soon as a milestone is backed, even if the rest is unfunded. This won't be the case with every funding project, some will require 100% or 80% or 50% or whatever before work starts, but for time-based milestones we can handle it per-time-block.

Wowser - that means the first two milestones are already funded! Thanks!

Ok so we've raised funds faster than expected, so moneromoo has already begun work. His first task is multi-language support for the CLI tools, but doing so in a way that is compatible with Qt Linguist (which is what we use for the GUI)

Thanks all!

As fluffypony said, I've already started early on the translations. I'll have those ready by the end of the week I think. That should be simplewallet at least. It can now load Qt Linguist files and properly display Chinese characters. For translators, this means they'll be able to use the Qt Linguist GUI tool to edit translations. My understanding is that Transifex can also be used with those.

donating 50 as we speak, probably add more in a few months.

Almost there already. This is awesome! Hopefully it lets any talent out there know that the community is willing to put it's money where it's mouth is and attracts it.
