Ingo's argument is a poor one. Of course the bounties were a motivating
factor.
Having done a bounty myself, I can only say that:
a) I wouldn't do it again
b) it was just some additional incentive on work I would have done anyway
c) it cannot possibly feed you, which makes it a 100% spare time job
d) it prevents collaboration
I've also worked several times for Haiku Inc. on a contract basis, and I
would definitely do that again if my job/financial situation would allow it:
a) you have some fixed income you can plan with
b) I'm actually paid for my work, not just for completed milestones;
with such a bit of money involved, the risk makes a huge difference,
also wrt the motivation.
c) Even partially completed work benefits Haiku.
In the case of my bounty project, I ran out of time, and tried to make
it work - that's stressful and unrewarding, and eventually led me to
abandon work on that thing altogether.
mmlr later debugged my work, and applied the one-liner that made it work.
Bye,
Axel.
