After The GNOME Bounties, It's Mozilla's Turn

Posted by timothy on from the cheap-labor dept.

MikeCapone writes "Slashdot had an article about the GNOME bounties a few days ago, but now, thanks to the Shuttleworth Foundation (created by Mark Shuttleworth, the guy who went into the ISS as a Soyuz cosmonaut a couple of years ago), the Mozilla project also has some monetary incentives. The budget for 2004 is USD$100,000."

    People will quickly get bored and ignore you if you drop this into every single article.

    Tease the people, make them wait for three or four articles, or at least rotate some new material in. Napalming every article with this is going to make it stale very quickly.

    Funny. Why is your first move to insult the French when you don't know whether the original poster was French?

    He's from Switzerland. The home of swiss cheese and nazi gold. And he likes to talk about himself in the third person.

    Now come up with something against that. Ha!

    (And besides... if you're from Finland, why the hell are you defending Americans anyway?)
