I know developers who would be very happy to get contract work regarding specific ideas and current work they are already involved in (which will have a big impact on OpenBSD performance and functionality). Such contracts would put money into their pockets. It would also get the developer's pre-defined task done. I think I can speak for almost all of those people when I say they would rather just get paid to do the things they already have planned. Trust them; don't lay down a set of instructions. That match won't work. If those rules are played I will (for free, until it becomes too annoying :) hook up developers with those who want to fund them. Maybe upon completion such a developers might suddenly want to buy 50+ CDs with a part of their income (and then give instruction to "only ship 1"). It would work. It is crazy, of course.
