Implementing a new protocol/driver usually requires quite a bit of invest for time and importantly equipment. Are you or anyone you know of willing to invest into such a driver? (Providing Hard- and/or Software, financial incentives for investing the time to implement such a driver)

[boyucjz]

Yeah, I want to make that happen

Is there any document for adding the agreement

[chrisdutz]

Hi,

we just recently created an opencollective collective "Friends of Toddy" to handle the financing of things as an Apache Project is not allowed to manage such things because of it's non-profit charity status.

Admittedly I have no idea on how complicated the protocol is and to how much funds would be required to make it happen. Also maybe others want to do it for free ;-)

If you have some information on the project, I could possibly add a "Project" on the collective page and attach a price-tag to it.

I am a programmer and would very much like to find interested people here to implement a piece

[chrisdutz]

Sorry for the late reply ... had to finish some other things ... I think. i really should document the steps I do to create:
a) A new driver for an existing language
b) A new language module

Please be a bit patient ... but as there are no funds coming in, I'll not work on any issues, features etc., so I've to time to write more ;-)

[chrisdutz]

Ok ... here comes a first "birds-eye-view" of how I start a new driver. I guess getting that to work will probably keep you occupied until I manage to continue it a bit further.

Ups ... forgot to post the link: https://plc4x.apache.org/plc4x/pre-release/developers/tutorials/writing-driver.html
