Do you have experience with things like that, did you study its effects ? At least as far as iam concerned, it certainly would motivate me to get _some_ payment for what i do 7 days a week and surely the 0$ for FFmpeg (not counting the occasional consulting stuff) is not going to work out forever for me though thats drifting a bit off topic ... > This idea is clearly described in book of Daniel Pink "Drive" > <http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Surprising-Truth-About-Motivates/dp/1594484805/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409176363&sr=8-1&keywords=drive+-+daniel+pink>.

If you have ideas that will motivate people to fix (old) bugs, please by all means go ahead with them. > Clément Bœsch gave an excellent idea to vote for bugs, so developers can > see how it's important and focus on things which really matter. trac supports votes since a while, iam not sure that really affected how people treat bugs ... > > Also having some status or list of most active contributors on FFmpeg > website would be great. I mean status which is calculated automatically > using bug fixing stats. Is there some trac plugin that can do that ? can you write such plugin or setup a script or other to do that?
