I do not like bounties. I feel they appeal to greed and generally lead to sub par work.
I however am not against community lead initiatives. If the community is wishing for a feature or an article produced We can come to a consensus vote on it and start a fund raiser to hire the people needed. I will create a transparent process for doing so. Where we will know the price of the product/service and will keep tally of who donates and what they donated. Steps will not be taken forward until monetary requirements are fulfilled that will have deadlines attached to them. If fund raising fails to meet goals refunds will be sent back to the original senders.
This is the best way to make sure that any objectives set are done to their most optimal of capacity.
Public services and donated work are always welcome and if the community wish to donate to you for your private efforts that is by choice...
Donations are gifts not bribes
