Re: Allow donations for precise bugs

[Maurizio Colucci <seguso forever tin it>]

Hello Nadine.

First of all, I apologize for how poorly I explained myself.

In my idea, if he does not work and deliver:

* at the end of the time limit, he gets bad votes from his donators; he
  will loose reputation points, which will make it difficult to find
  donations next time;

* he does not get all the money, since money is not transferred all in
  advance to his bank account, but delayed.

For a more detailed explanation of what I am proposing, please have a look
at: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=111083529028863&w=2

The site could also offer an option to have the developer sign a legal 
contract, which would give even more guarantees to donators. I am 
investigating this possibility. OTOH, it might be that the reputation system 
is already sufficient.

Sincerely,

Maurizio
