[WikiEN-l] Bounties

[Andrew Gray]

I ran across this interesting idea last night, and thought it deserved
mentioning to a wider audience: [[Wikipedia:Bounty board]]

Basically, users offer to donate $X to the foundation in return for
someone doing Y - for example, take [[Médecins Sans Frontières]] to FA
status, and you get the warm glow of knowing the foundation is $20
better off.

Not sure how good a motivation this will turn out to be in the long
run, but it does sound like an idea worth trying; $35 seems to have
been "won" so far, and as no-one but the Foundation profits there
doesn't seem to be any legal pitfalls waiting to happen.
