Hi,
By developer recommended bouties, I meant that a Haiku developer
actually said something along the lines of, hey that wouldn't be a bad
idea for a bounty.
I think Axel wants to get something started like 'Haiku endorsed' and
'community endorsed' bounties.

I think I missed the "developer" recommendation of the SATA bounty - as
far as I was aware, Marcus had some hardware from JMicron and was
planning on (perhaps even has started) working on it?

I like Jonas' idea for regular prizes - and certainly for the first
round of awards I don't think any of the recipients would be too
controversial!
I've nothing against a bounty system too though, but it seems less fair
on the developers. I suppose the prize fund would be for people who
wanted to express their support for what was being done in general, and
the bounties for people who really have a show-stopping feature they'd
like to see implemented.
