If you aren't familiar with bounty systems, I suggest looking at 
launchpad.net.

	https://launchpad.net/bounties

A bounty system is nice in that many people can add small amounts till 
there are enough funds to make it worthwhile for a developer that 
otherwise didn't have enough of an itch to scratch.

I still don't really understand why we don't just use the launchpad 
system.  It would save maintenance and development on some back-end that 
doesn't directly relate to vtiger.  Launchpad also helps communicate 
from the distributions and the project.

Faithi can probably chime in more about the launchpad bounties 
and service.

Wouldn't it make sense to add vtiger as a launchpad project anyway?  
Just for the added benefit of communication with the distributions ( 
debian, Ubuntu, fink, etc) and translation services.
