Non-Windows Software / Re: Linux File Manager With A Preview Panel and Favorites catalog

One of the developers of NewBreeze wrote me back to say this:
"I have some plans similar to yours, but on the whole, the changes you suggest are substantial, and I am not willing to make so many changes. The Right Pane, yes. I will add it in the future. I find the TreeView in the sidepanel messy, but have plans to add it anyway. As for adding file to favorites, I am working on SuperStart, which will have support for files and folders bookmarking. If you want help building a file manager for yourself, I'll try to help you as much as I can. Most of the features you want are not that complicated. You can use most of the Qt classes as is and make do. It would make a very lightweight and a feature rich FM."
Unfortunately I am no programmer myself and doubt I could learn fast enough to make this worthwhile.
That's one of the reasons I posted on donationcoder. I'd really like to do something rather that sit back and hope. Is there a method or a place - here on DonationCoder or otherwise - where it would make sense to post a prototype design and try to raise money to support development of a new (hopefully open source) programming effort? Maybe forking off of the QT version of PCMANFM or some other current QT design?
