That's indirect and ambiguous; your own success doesn't guarantee nor even make likely more time for you to work on bounties. If you want to be fair, promise a certain amount of the proceeds to be added to the bounty amount for whatever it is you think you'd work on if success for you happens to lead to more time to work on Lilypond. Then if your own success happens to lead to less dev time, Lilypond still benefits _directly_ by having increased bounty amounts. -Jonathan _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
