Hello mailinglist! this is my first here, so bear with me if I'm doing something wrong. I was writing with Florian Effenberger and he wanted me to post here my idea.
I'm rather active at the English Wikipedia and they have there a so called 'Bounty Board'. [1] On that wikipage everybody is able to post his wish which article should be improved to a certain quality level or that an article is created for a reward. The rewards look different. The most chosed rewards are: * a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation (which is the foundation behind Wikipedia), * a 'donation' to the improver, * an improvement to any other article (often bounded to a genre). I think this system would also work for LibreOffice. I know that at least some users would pay money if a particular bug is resolved or any wished improvements are made. The solution to offer such 'bounties' at the English Wikipedia was created by other English contributors, so the technical solution is rather bad, but with a small bunch of PHP code this could be rather a great board: All is need is a small table in a database. Moreover I thought this could be added to as an extension to the bug submission wizard which has nearly all relevant parts. Any thoughts? I heard there were already two attempts (before LO existed), but failed. I think we could do it better!
