Funding & Software status
Here you see the progress of my "direct crowdfunding" alternative to the Kickstarter campaign. Your contribution is welcome, it will be used to secure the future of Spectragryph, a free spectroscopy tool for science!
The complete feature list below can be completed with a funding sum of EUR 25,000. A lower sum will result in fewer new features implemented. You will see the progress made in funding as well the progress in implementation. Spending less time on a certain topic than estimated, frees up money for other additional topics. I will make changes to the table as progress is made. If I work on something else, it will not show up here and not burn the funding sum!

Overview: funded tasks (as laid out in the Spekwin32 Masterplan) & state of implementation Since
mid of June 2016, I am working on it. See the "Done" column
for what's already finished. On Nov. 11 2016, the first version
of Spectragryph v1.0 was released. The spectral database part came
with v1.1 in May 2017. Processing automation and spectral data acquisition
came with v1.2 in July 2017. Further work is ongoing. |
