Looking for a german contributor with experience with Xrechnung and ZUGFeRD

[alexis-via]

I am the maintainer of the factur-x lib.

With all the work I made today on the lib, the main PRs and issues that are still open are all related to Xrechnung or german-specific questions. I'm french and I don't speak german. I don't know anything about Xrechnung. I feel that, with some help from a german contributor, this lib could be more use in Germany and more helpful for german users.

So I'm looking for a german contributor that would be motivated to help me maintain this lib on the Germany-specific aspects. The ideal profile would be:

• knowledge of Xrechnung and ZUGFeRD i.e. someone that has already read the full official specifications
• ready to help for the next years
• fan of free software / has knowledge of free software culture

I would like someone that could help me answer german-specific issues and review german-specific pull requests. If you don't have a strong experience with the code, it's ok, I can handle that part, but I need help to understand if the feature/change proposed in the pull request complies with the official Xrechnung/ZUGFeRD specifications or not.

I think this job would represent a few hours of work per year.

If you want to step in, you can answer on this issue or contact me direcly by email (alexis dot delattre at akretion.com).

I'm not an expert in the formats, but I have used factur-x to validate XRechnung in the past.

As already commented by mail, I'm willing to help, but my time is very limited.

I maintain a production system that uses this lib to implement both ZUGFeRD and XRechnung PDF invoices, including embedding XRechnung files into PDF using this lib with my own patch.
I also have implemented the xml file generation of the ZUGFeRD and XRechnung files in our legacy application (from 0), so I relatively well informed of the standards and their implementation details, of course focused on German regulations.

I'll have to support my work for a forseeable time, which includes standard updates and adoptions to this library.

Note that you can find my mods to this libary here on github:

Please feel free to contact me with issues you have regarding XRechnung implementation.
