## AI overview

ReactOS says it has resolved a paperwork issue that temporarily halted funded development contracts. The project announces a full-time contract for David Quintana, whose initial work will focus on bringing up the new explorer shell, with possible later contributions to lower-level components such as the kernel.

## Source excerpt

A year ago the project ran a donation drive to raise money to pay for funded development of ReactOS. While the drive was moderately successful, a slight paperwork issue with the German foundation caused a temporary halt to funded development contracts. Since then, the issue has been resolved and the project has been working to restart handing out development contracts to demonstrate that the money donated to the project is being put to good use.
