Since wireless support is such a huge endeavour, $750 won't get us

Fixing a number of the most tenacious alpha blocking bugs, however,
seems like a realistic
goal.
Now, since these kind of bugs are apparently very tough to pin down
and fix, possible
takers of the bounty are probably the usual suspects of the core devs
on this list. So, is
there anyone who is able to tackle those bugs, take some time off
from work for a week or
two, to go on a serious bug safari? Those $750 could probably be
raised by a few hundred
dollars if needed.
Or do you think solving these alpha blocking bugs isn't conductive to
a short term bounty?
Are there other things to be considered?
Since many of the core Haiku developers are freelancers, I guess that
money can indeed help to be able to spend time on the issue earlier.
But since at least I would then see this as work, and most of the
remaining bugs are supposedly very time intensive, this could easily
get pretty expensive. Those bugs will be taken down anyway, sooner or
later, though, so I'm not sure this would be a good investment :-)
You may actually be able to hit two with one strike: 2706 and 2197. :-)
Best regards,
