I could see a happy marriage of the 2 ideas. Right now there is $2000 sitting over at Haikuware waiting for someone, anyone to tackle a Gallium port. Maybe adding Enhancement tickets as a form of bounty might be beneficial. Essentially this is one of those Ideas I hope allows Haiku to hire multiple full time developers and attract new ones.That's a different concept indeed. If you noticed, I started throwing small dollar "pledges" at a few select tickets that I personally wanted to see resolved... I was hoping the idea would catch on, but I think there wasn't much exposure. What was also proposed at one point was "voting" for tickets so that we could ascertain which ones were of the highest value for contracts and financial rewards. This would also let us decide which tickets are actually causing the most pain among users. If we coupled voting with a "pledge" donation system, it could be pretty interesting perhaps. - Urias
I don't think its the silver bullet, but anything is worth a shot. Sean
