User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 I would like to propose a system for Mozilla similar to Haxial's bribe system (http://haxial.com/bribe/). Basically, how it works is that people report a bug/request a feature and attach a certain amount of money to it. Haxial then implements the feature and accepts the money. In Mozilla, perhaps people could attach money to bugzilla reports. Whoever fixes it gets the money. This would be moderated by a senior Mozilla guy. If this was implemented, it would provide more of an incentive to fix bugs and implement feature requests. I know I would attach $10 to a few serious bugs that I would like to see fixed. They would immediately get more attention. I'm sure they'd get fixed by the next release. This would also get more people involved in Mozilla development. I know that I personally would try to become familiar with Mozilla programming and maybe make a few quick bucks while helping the community at the same time. Everyone would benefit! The programmers would benefit since they'd get to pocket some money for their efforts, the Mozilla Project would benefit through the gain of more programmers who are attracted to this idea, and the end users would obviously benefit because more bugs and features would be fixed and they could have more of an influence over the bugs/features they want fixed/implemented. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
