We have quite a few of these, and this requires super-skilled and super-dedicated frogs, possibly working as a team (like the awesome work that has been done recently on harp pedals). As for bounties, it is a shame that everytime a person says "I'm willing to throw a few bucks in" we can't be there to answer "you're welcome, here's my paypal account" :) I think we should have a list of feature request associated with bounties, for everyone interested to be able to make the auction climb a bit more. That could possibly encourage Frogs to dive into the Pond ;-) > I'm hesitated slightly about proposing this since I'm not > qualified to be the FrogMeister.
