I'll rummage around and see if maybe that's what I have in mind. [ ... the sounds of rummaging... ] I see no way to *claim* a bounty, etc. It seems like a glorified help wanted page. Maybe that's what's best, but I would like to see a system that not only exchanges phone numbers, but allows for the transfer of money (possibly via paypal). Still pondering the issue. For example, I have a day job, but sometimes I have a few hours that I can use to kill a bug that someone finds important enough to offer a bounty. I find the bounty description (including test cases, if it's a good one) make the fix, and say so by claiming the bounty. The bounty poster reviews my work, approves the result, and the bounty appears in my PayPal account. The client experience would be similar. Client has a problem and posts a bounty description, including a bounty amount. If the case already exists, he can add money to an existing bounty. After some time, he gets a notice that someone is attempting to claim the bounty. The client reviews the material (i.e. tests the results) and if satisfied, clicks a button to mark the bounty claimed. Money disappears from his PayPal account. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep." _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
