馃毀馃毀 Looking for backers 馃毀馃毀聽#313
Description
TL, DR;
We're looking for new collaborators or financial backers.
hello!
Allow me to be personal - I'm Vojtech, one of the maintainers of the datetimepicker module (and others). I've been involved in open source around React Native for a while because I really like it. Over the course of time though, I concluded that I do not want to spend much of my free time doing open source work (features, bugfixes, issue handling, docs...) that is used in for-profit projects. Please note I'm not using this module in any project I'm currently working on.
So, allow me to say openly: I do not plan to spend my free time on maintenance of this module unless I just feel like doing it for fun (irregularly), or unless I'm compensated for it.
This module has a number of bugs, missing features and open issues that require someone's attention. There are changes that need to be done to make the module work well and make consumers (that is you / your company 馃檪 ) happy. We're looking for new collaborators that would help us with these. If you're interested, please don't hesitate to contribute - we'll help you if needed. Just to make it clear, I don't feel comfortable giving repo access rights to everyone unless they have some track record already (here or in other repos), so I'd first like to see an external contribution happen from a fork and after it all works out I will give those access rights :) Not having repo access rights does not prevent anyone from contributing.
If you want to ensure continued maintenance using money instead of your time, use the links below. Sponsorships will be used to compensate the time every maintainer spends working on this project. Talk to your boss about sponsoring OSS. Your support is much appreciated!

If you have any questions, this is a good place to ask 馃檪
Thank you! 馃檪
For the people who are interested in contributing - I will be available to answer questions you may have but for the most part, I believe it is beneficial to follow the "just do it" advice given here: react-native-maps/react-native-maps#3564 (comment)
