I want to know what is Author Payment System for? ( http://wiki.sourcefabric.org/display/CS/Author+Payment+Syste m)
It allow to pay the authors? How calculate the payment? When will be released? Wich will be the payments methods?
Can I help in some way to let this feature to be developed faster?
hi, the first time we get interest in an empty wiki page
yes, the author payment system is meant to be a tool to pay authors. Newscoop already has a author management tool built in. the "author payment system" will be inside the author management, probably a tab added for payment. the basic functionality would allow payment for individual contributions (text, pictures, etc.) as well as generating a sum of all unpaid contributions, adding up all open articles by the author.
such a tool of course requires that there is additional information available per author. besides bank details or paypal, what is needed is VAT and other information relevant for paying authors. e.g. a checkbox for the accountant to verify that the author has signed the agreement / contract with the publisher.
we are open for ideas here. as you see, it is still a blank page in the wiki. let's continue this thread and collect ideas and experiences to make this feature work in day to day business.
re: speed up the development. yes, sure, we are interested in support to get features float further up on the top of the priorities list.
