I use Debian 13 in a regulated industry and I'm teaching people how to code in the context of large projects and TUI.

I want to use Fresh Editor (https://getfresh.dev/). This is because Fresh is easier to learn quickly than vim & emacs, and more of an IDE than micro & nano, and more favorable for compliance auditing because of its core-and-plugins architecture and open source code using Rust.

I would like to donate toward this goal. I can afford to offer $100 to any Debian Developer who has the suitable skill and trust to accomplish this. The software author must say yes too, of course.

Success looks like this: create a new Debian 13 server, type "apt install fresh-editor", and it works. No third-party apt sources needed, because I have compliance reasons. Fortunately Fresh already has a *.deb file and explains it on the Fresh installation page.

Here's the GitHub issue: https://github.com/sinelaw/fresh/issues/2169

I'm not affiliated with Fresh in any way, just a early adopter user. If you view the GitHub issues, I'm also offering $100 each for helping with Fresh display issues on MacBooks, and for adding Fresh ePub capabilities.

I'm doing this because I believe in funding open source as much as possible.
