[Vtigercrm-developers] Bounty system

[Fathi Boudra]

the guy who sets the bounty ? vtiger ?

sure :)
* vtiger or someone else sets the bounty
* vtiger gives (if they set the bounty) or collects (if third party set the 
bounty) the money
* someone and/or many people ? take the bounty
* we set a date limit or not ?
* the people send their work
* a technical committee validate the work
* if it meets the requirement of the bounty, vtiger pay

there isn't independent third party, there's only vtiger. for launchpad, 
behind ubuntu, there's a company, canonical, and it's not really an 
independent third party and not a blocker one.

i don't know the good answers there, and i'm not involved enough in the bounty 
system, but peoples who want the bounty system should and must have these 
answers. I can only give my 2 cents, technical point of view :)
