personally i think that idea of "bounties" is a good one: http://www.gnome.org/bounties/
that way, needed aspects of the project can be funded, and institutions should be happy with that as well. after all they can call it funding the development of what they need.....
anyone else thought about setting up a bounties page for pd ?
i think hans proposed using a bounty system for the pd development... i like this idea very much ... of course this can be used to introduce features to devel ... but if the institution would want to stick with a "stable", "official" branch ... forget it ...
but for the first ... what about a wiki on pd.org?
cheers... t
