Why does it have to be less than the cost of developing a feature?<br>
<br>
There is no readily available pool of Asterisk developers looking for<br>
project work, as far as I know. The company I work for (IP Vision)<br>
generally contracts with Olle E. Johansson for such tasks, but his time<br>
and resources are not infinite, and he cannot always drop what he is<br>
doing to help us out.<br>
<br>
So far I have not attempted to get IP Vision to use the bounty<br>
mechanism, simply because posting to asterisk-biz seemed unlikely to<br>
reach the right people.<br>
<br>
I think Asterisk needs a better way of getting people with money in<br>
contact with people with skills. It is unfortunate to have a problem and<br>
get the funds allocated to fix it, but then be unable to find<br>
consultants who have time to take on the job. It gets a bit extra<br>
frustrating when the general perception is that the proprietary<br>
competitors have more consultants available.<br>
