Bounties are periodically offered by Logicalware for development of Open Source components or bug fixes. In all cases the code developed will be released under an Open Source license. Prior to beginning work a mail should be sent round the relevant developers' list to gain agreement on how the work will be completed.

If you are interested in a bounty get in touch and we will mark the bounty as "taken". You will then have 60 days to complete the work or agree an extension otherwise the bounty will be opened up again to other bounty hunters.

Add <dtml-comma> to <dtml-sqlgroup>

<dtml-sqlgroup> allows groups of SQL terms to be applied to SELECT statements but unfortunately it cannot be used with UPDATE. A patch was written to add this support in August 2000. Given the age of the patch it may need to be updated and unit tests will also be required.

Python Library format=flowed

RFC 3676 describes a Format=Flowed definition for plain text. A new Python module is required for converting unformatted text for Format=Flowed. It is anticipated that this module could then be used by the email module.

ZSQL Methods: Null to None patch

Currently ZSQL methods map None in Python strings to the string 'None' rather than an SQL null. This is very confusing. Dieter Maurer has submitted a patch to resolve this issue but it cannot be accepted until unit tests are completed.
