It looks awesome. On the philosophical side of things it's rather sad that they
chose to use Amazon as a way to pay for the particular feature (unless i've
misread something), but Amazon use to be quite a good and free speech loving
portal in the past, so it well may be good karma to still use them a little bit.

> My name is Rich Jones, and I'm the lead developer and director of a project
> called Gun.io, a platform for open source project managers to raise funds
> and to hire open source freelancers for microtasks on their projects. I'm
> writing to you today to invite you to give it a try!
>
> The way it works is pretty simple: you post a task which needs to be done
> for your project and offer up an amount of money to pay for it. Other
> people can then contribute to this pool of money, or they can work on the
> task assigned. The first person to complete the task to your satisfaction
> will then be awarded all of the money in the pool.
>
> Gun.io is perfect for discrete tasks that your project needs to move
> forward, like fixing bugs, adding new features, and writing tests, examples
> and documentation. It's a great way to raise and spend funds, too, as your
> donors will know that their contributions are going directly to improving
> the project. Gun.io is how you turn a good project into a great project.
>
> Gun.io has already used successfully by the Etherpad Foundation and
> Mozilla, the makers of Firefox. We are a fairly new project, but we already
> have thousands of registered developers who will be notified when your gig
> is posted.
>
> This is also completely free for open source projects! I developed Gun.io
> because I am an open source developer myself, and I wanted to hire
> assistance for my projects but was unsatisfied with offshore freelancers. I
> wanted to build a community-based solution which would have open source
> developers working for each other, so that's what we've made. I think that
> Freenet could really benefit from what we've built, so please give it a try!
