[Vtigercrm-developers] Build a vTiger Bounty Team

[Richie]

Hello!

Brian, we have no issues with you being the bounty maintainer.
We like the effort but are not really clear of our role.
I have read the threads but I am still not sure as to what is 
expected of us.

Would it be proper to have a test bounty to see if we can have a demo
thing on so that all concerned get the idea?
We could have a set of fixed users each giving say $1 or something for 
some feature. That, will explain a lot.

Graham, I am not clear of any policy change in vTiger because of this.
The idea is to get an effortocracy on wherein the community gains the most
at the least expense. vTiger team standsby this in spirit.

As mentioned above though, we are not really clear on how the cat will 
jump once we do have a real bounty on. Hence, I have requested for a 
small scale demonstration so that all concerned can understand.

Do post your views please.
Richie

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

I think you have a good point.   To start with we could use the lauchpad
service as our meeting ground.   If this takes off, then maybe we can look
at creating a system.


We need people to agree to using launchpad, and then we need to set up the
flow of how things would work.   What percentage will the vTiger team get?


Also, using lauchpad, do they have a system in place to place funds in
escrow and hold them until work in complete?   For accepting payment?

Other than launchpad, are there any other suggestions for systems to use?
Anyone?

Jamie
