from large bounties on even larger projects to small bounties for small projects- posted by people, not foundations.
There is a generation of users that would love to see more functionality in their computer, but have no idea how to cause that to occur... this same generation understands that they go to google to find things, ebay to sell things, amazon to buy things, etc.
Why not give them one place to go to make things work?
Bounty coders could become the handymen of the information age -- if the place for posting a bounty is easy enough to find for non-technocrats.
This is not an occupation - for that you want 'freelance coder' - this is a market for odd-jobs.
Incidentally, I tried to get one of these things started - http://www.bountycoder.org/ - but, well, it hasn't exactly jumped off the line...
I have had a kind of KEEP MARS CLEAN(boring, but cleverly titled blog), and here(merch for boring, but cleverly titled blog) thing going on for a couple weeks now... Anyone wanna mobilize protests for our sister planet?
roughly equivalent to putting a 20$ balance on an anonymous(read as falsely registered) email acct?
dont some pr0n sites band together and permit users who have registered with one to access all the others? maybe the multimedia conglomerates (knight-ridder, gannett, scripps, tribune, etc.) should consider a similar arrangement?
