OSS Projects Offer Bounties For Features

Recently, Lime Wire updated its wish list to include bounties on open source development work! Similarly, i2p also released a bounty list. Is it time to consider quitting my day job to do open source development full time?"

    WinZip might be bloated, but 7z is terrible. I'm using on my laptop, and I'm not happy at all. For instance, the shell integration is lacking, it seems you can't drag an archive to somewhere else with the RMB and have the option to extract there, or extract in a subfolder in that position. I use this constantly on my desktop with WinRAR. There are other annoyances, but this is the major one.
