[Asterisk-Users] Nothing to do? Go bounty-hunting!

[Olle E. Johansson]

Being bored to death by these long weekends with nothing to do?
**** Why not go bounty-hunting? ****

There are some feature requests in the bug tracker with monetary bounties attached.

* Windows manager
* FreeBSD Zaptel drivers
   http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000847
* IAX incoming/outgoing limit
* 2B channel transfer on PRI
* MGCP media gateway support

All of these have money attached, that you may earn over the weekend!
Get rich, start coding :-)

...or add to the bounty to make sure that others start coding!

I added URL to the FreeBSD Zaptel bounty, since it's closed as a bug report even
though the bounty is open for takers!

We're moving the bounty list to
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Bounty

since they're not really bugs or patches. As soon as we have patches, open a
[patch] report in the bug tracker and add them there, but not before we have
patches.

For those of you that started bounties, please help us move the request description
and the bounty value to the Wiki. For each bounty, I think we need one maintainer that
is in charge of handling the bounty - alone or with a group of advisors that can judge
the contributed code. The maintainer also needs to keep track of each contributor to
the bounty to help collecting the fee when it's time to pay.

I know the Wiki isn't the best tool for this, but it's an option we have today.
We are working on finding a long-term platform for feature requests with or without
bounties.

I would like to see for each bounty a clear request list

* Description of the function
* The combined value of the bounty
* Licensing for the code - I would suggest that all bounties should be disclaimed so
   they may be candidates for the CVS

Happy easter from one of your friendly bug-marshals!
