jmucchiello what is your schedule here? Have you started or are you waiting until the pledges are collected or until your schedule opens up. Also, what is your ROUGH estimate of a time line to getting something for testing, as example, 20 hours in 1 week or 20 hours spread over a month.
I'm going to play devils advocate here, what happens if the resulting product doesn't live up to expectations? Who will own and support the product? Some have elected to put up more money than others, do their requested features take priority? Will there be an agreement between the writers of Geeklog and the writer/s of the Calendar Plugin? Will this be available to all or just to those who pay?
Just wondering,
Sorry guys, I have to withdraw my pledge because I am confused with this Bounty mechanism. I hope Dirk or someone from the GL core team would join in and guide us through the process.
jmucchiello:
I had hoped we could take your advice and just sit tight, but I suspected if we waited too long, some of us would get cold feet. I also suspect if they could see the calendar and know it will work, then they would pay. The interest seems high enough. Perhaps you might consider doing the work, presenting it on your website, and then let us do the bounty thing. You hold onto it until we come up with the minimum.
I'd make it available to everyone
