Thanks to Humdinger's first comment on our bounty poll result, and the relative closeness in support for a wireless stack and alpha bugs bounty, I've found a developer to bring over to Haiku! Humdinger initially tried to see if any of the core developers would take on an alpha bug squashing bounty, but it didn't receive any replies. That led me on a search... I privately contacted two core Haiku developers, but they both don't have time. Then I registered a 'Haiku Alpha Bug Squashing' project at getafreelancer.com. I was quite surprised to see some replies, and found a developer located in the U.S who commented:

"I am interested in working on haiku os and contribute to it. Since its open source i don't want to charge for it. If interested do contact me."

Contact him I did! He's now listed as 'harsha' here on Haikuware. I told him we raised the bounty money and were comfortable with paying a $250 bounty he bidded for (leaves $500 for a wireless bounty), although the gesture to contribute for free was appreciated and shows his great intent and interest. He's been a proffesional developer for 4 years now and has been reading up on BeOS and Haiku, and even has a Linux development environment for Haiku setup.

So, now harsha would like to know how to get started. I'm going to leave comments here and invite everyone else to leave comments in case I miss something!
