Re: Donations and bounty for bug and feature hunting.

Did not know that Kmail offered this opportunity. But I would really like to be able to browse bugzilla and see what is the bounty for this feature to day? Then developers could choose a task where they feel that the effort/pay ratio is good enough. And for me as a contributer I could make an evaluation on where my money would be best spent. (If there are to features I would like to see implemented and I only can afford to sponsor one I could evaluate which one was closest to fulfillment).

Cheers Jo

Look at http://www.kontact.org/shopping. I don't say that it would be not nice to be possible to add an entry to bugzilla where developers could say "I'd do this for XXX money", and those wanted to support KDE development could pick up one of those entries, but the other approach is also straightforward and logical: you want a feature (and you *know* what you need) or you are annoyed by a bug, so you approach the developers and offer something in order to see the bug/feature implemented. This way you really sponsor the one who does the job that you really want.
