The best metric for me would be the developers feeling confident
enough to setting gtk2 as the default toolkit for building the IDE for
Linux in a released version. However, I would be happy to send money
based on some reasonable milestone (works well enough for general use
as a beta version). I will you guys hash out where it should be sent.

I allredy regret my mail. While I am really interested in seeing proper
GTK2 support + I am really willing to pay for that, I admit that there
are some problems with this bounty offer:
* who decides, if the goal is reached
* who earns the money.
Especially, the second point is problematic, because many people have
contributed work to the gtk2 support and it would be pretty unfair to
give the money to somebody, who just happened to wipe out the last
bug. .. well, this on the other hand will never happen ;-) ..
However, I'd feel more comfortable with paying the money for something
that returns to the whole community, like e.g. a snapshot build server
( or a playstation3 so we might get cell chip support ;-) )
IOW: yea, a foundation that takes the money and spend it on usefull
things wouldn't be too bad ..
regards
Burkhard
