Projects that need Doing (and Paying For)

Here are a few useful things I’ve considered working on. Of course time is always short, and I’ve already got far more non-paying, community work than I can manage If you happen to need any of these, and are willing to finance their development, drop me an e-mail and we’ll talk.

A complete XML import/export format for blogs. The goal is to produce a single XML document containing all blog entries, comments, static pages, user data, stylesheets, templates, and everything else in a straight-forward format. Possibly this should be a zip file to easily include pictures, CSS, and other non-XML data.

A complete XML import/export format for mail clients. The goal is to produce a single XML document containing all messages, mailboxes, and settings. Probably the first pass of this product would not include filters or spam rules.

A JSON parser that exposes a SAX API

A HID implementation sitting on top of the Java USB API.

A full javax.usb implementation for Mac OS X.

XML catalog support for XOM.

XML Digital signature support for XOM.

XML Encryption support for XOM.

An XPath based fixture for Fit/Fitnesse for TDD on Web Apps

A WordPress plug-in for adding a “Create this page” option on 404 pages.

A WordPress plug-in for customizing the button bar used in the non-rich editor.

A PHP port of TagSoup or some sort of TagSoup PHP integration by calling Java from PHP
