I understand.I wish to say that fet is by far better than asc.It has a looooooong way to go.Now,which kind of donation would contribute to you to do the coding to effect the issue at hand?

Volker Dirr

I must admit, that i am bad in the GUI stuff.
It is always a bit difficult to estimate how long we need to code it.
Sometimes I can code 100 lines of code in a few minutes and everything is running without a single bug.
But sometimes only a single line of code can take hours.

Liviu, what do you estimate in this case?

Cyrus Ireri

Lets hear what Liviu will say

Liviu Lalescu

Hello, sorry for not writing sooner, but I needed to think.

Thank you, Cyrus, for your suggestions and kind words!

I am always interested into the best for FET, and so is Volker. I am willing to try to code a better data structure, for instance for a teacher include name, surname, or other values. Unfortunately, this was not thought of from the start and now maybe a complete rewrite of big portions is needed. Also, I am willing to try to write a better timetables output/print/view, together with Volker.

It is easy coding compared to the algorithm, I must admit, but also boring, tedious, and critically error-prone. And also not my best area of experience.

Since FET started, I said that I would be happy if I got 10% of the revenue the competition makes. This is still valid. Or, put in another way, maybe around 1 euro per month from each user/institution that uses FET.

Cyrus Ireri

Great.Some of us would really love to appreciate your effort for such an improvement that would mean alot to me personally.

Cyrus Ireri

My concern arise when you have to deal with quite a number of teachers and don't want to strain mastering their codes.You wish codes to appear at class timetables but personal copies to have their names

Liviu Lalescu

Thank you, Cyrus, you are kind! Unfortunately, very few were/are interested.

Liviu Lalescu

Indeed. There are many nice improvements possible, but they take time and resources. Unfortunately, as I said, very few users are interested in supporting FET.

Welcome.I'm more than willing to support you in this since i know what it means.I was working on a 12 stream school (form 1-4 12 classes) with 106 teachers and i can assure you,i had to have code followed by teachers name of the teacher's data.All was well but as for the class and master timetables,i had to use custom scale to fill in an a4 paper in lascape since it could spill on the next pages.If codes were the only one appearing on the two,things would be better

How many Euros would be okay for you to work on this?

Liviu Lalescu

The time to make these major internal changes might be measured in a few months; I am not sure. Maybe less. Maybe a month. I already wrote my price; unfortunately my price is very high if you think of only a few institutions to contribute for this special coding.

Cyrus Ireri

Was asking to see if i can appreciate since paying is costly for initiative to make the changes.

Liviu Lalescu

Absolutely no problem, Cyrus! You are a useful user, and made very good suggestions on important new recent improvements! And you are a kind person to talk to.

Cyrus Ireri

I wouldn't mind supporting what you do after all is said and done

450 Eur to have fet with such consideration.Just appreciating
