I agree. But I was thinking on something simpler. For example, JWE could
announce in the list and in the funding webpage that the project needs a
new $3000 server, $2000 to pay a writer to update documentation or $500 to
write a Windows native version. Until the objective is reached, ALL the
donations are destined to reach this goal. I think that is could be easily
done and it could be an incentive to donate.
My other idea was the following:
Alice wants a new features. So, she puts an ad offering a bounty (in the
wiki? in a dedicated web?).
Bob reads the ad and thinks that he could do it.
Bob contacts Alice and they negotiate the conditions of the agreement.
Bob writes the new code. Alice gets the code, pays Bob and donates it to
the Octave project.
After that, Bob could put an ad offering his services as Octave hacker.
In this way JWE and UW don't have to do anything.
