IT LOOKS A GREAT IDEA TO ME.
NOT SURE TO UNDERSTAND HOW DONOR(S) WILL PAY THE DEVELOPER THAT FIXED
THE BUG....
I MEAN, MONEY ARE PUT ON AN ACCOUNT AND THEN TRANSFERRED WHEN THE TASK
IS ACCOMPLISHED?
MAXI

Hi PSC,
following the QGIS idea of
"Donate some money to squash your most annoying bug"
http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Bugs
I would suggest to do likewise for the GRASS bugs. The overhead
is almost zero, money directly payed from the donor(s) to the
bugfixer and all denoted in the Wiki.
How does it work:
* a user suggests a bug to be fixed in the Wiki with some seed
funding including a precise description of his/her expectations;
* more users add money as needed until someone picks it up and
fixes it for the available amount;
* the developer is payed directly by the donor(s).
The "normal" bug squashing business continuous of course as usual.
What do you think?
Markus
