[consulting] Module developer looking for subcontracting work

[Brian Vuyk]

Bram,

That sounds like it would be an interesting type of study to perform. 
The actual task is pretty fitting - for a new developer, it may be 
something that takes a few minutes to figure out. For a more advanced 
member, it would be only a few minutes to do. What type of solution did 
you have in mind? Patching the module directly (ie, submitting to the 
issue queue), or working from an external module with hook_mail_alter() 
(we have our own module that needs to change this behaviour)?

Unfortunately, I won't be at Drupalcon SF, which may or may not pose a 
problem.

Well, as you know, I have a little bit of time on my hands, so feel free 
to hit me up via email directly if you want to work together for this. 
What did you have in mind for the testing framework?

Brian
