Dear all, we've been running a Bounty Program [1] over the last two months here in GnuCash. It is now finished. Thanks for everyone who had a look!
In general, the open tasks have been worked on quite successfully: All Bugzilla tasks are completed (though two of them turned out to be fixed or non-reproducible or both). From the Uservoice request list, two new features have been completed as well, though eight other tasks were left open. [2] In that sense, the program was mainly successful. However, the program unfortunately did not attract the attention of any developer who wasn't already active within gnucash. This was one particular goal of this project, and in my opinion the bounty amount was significant enough for this. But as everyone here probably noticed: There were no questions from any newcomer regarding any of the tasks of the program whatsoever. This is unfortunately not what I had expected. Did we do too little announcements? Are there websites or places around where more interested people would have picked up the news? I don't know. I asked beforehand to run this as an experiment, and we now have the result: A program of this kind does not really help in attracting new developers. Well, a result, too. In any case thanks everyone! With our new releases the project is also progressing strongly towards the next stable release. Keep up the good work!
