Maybe because the repo is 2 hours old, provides no actual information other than some hand waving. Also the author asks for $2 Million and doesn't seem to be a Python Core Developer. Given the repos age I'm probably answering to Mark Shannon himself.
Edit: This post wasn't supposed to be an hostile attack against anybody. Just found it odd to ask why an 2 hour old repo wasn't more known. I did not know that Mark Shannon is a core dev. Certainly did not pick that up from the repos contents.
- ebg13 6y agoI think Mark Shannon is a Python core dev now. But I agree with your other reasons.
- nemetroid 6y agoMark Shannon definitely is a core developer, though I agree that it's odd to ask "why isn't this more known?" about a two hours old repo.
- coldtea 6y agoHe is a core developer (and long time core contributor), and he doesn't ask for "$2 million dollars". In fact the post says: "The PSF seems to be the obvious organization to coordinate funding". And no, I'm not Mark, somebody send me the link. Conspiracy theory much?
- antoinealb 6y agoThe repository linked mentions that each stage should cost about $500k and there are 4 stages. You can argue that he is not asking for it, but at least he is valuating it at $2M.
- coldtea 6y agoDidn't say he isn't valuating it at $2M. It's all on the post. What he doesn't do is say he should be the one to handle those (or even get those).
- XorNot 6y ago200k per year would not be the worst salary to pay a developer for this work, and I'd say he's outlined about 5 to 10 years of work. Feels like you could negotiate a package of escalating compensation contingent on delivery milestones.
