I imagine clients creating bounties, not developers. How's this scenario (method 1): Client creates bounty by filling in a form. Bounty gets added to a table with a "buy now" button assigned to it. Developer claims the bounty by filling in a claim form. Client completes the transaction by "buying" the bounty. Or like this (method 2): Client creates a bounty by filling in a form. The form includes an offer (in a currency that the commerce system supports). The developer claims a bounty by filling in a form with the claim materials. A claim is posted with the "buy" button. The client accepts the claim by "buying" it. Either way, accepting the claim automatically closes it. The second method might be better amenable to multiple clients raising the bounty by filling in a "me too" form. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep." _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
