IMO. Donors are unlikely to identify all the features/bugs needing
work.
Aw, come on now. That's not really a problem. We can certainly give
Jimbo and/or the Board of Trustees the additional power to assign up to
25% of unassigned donated money to development task.
I don't know that we could. It might piss off some donors if we said
we'll use this for hardware, and we end up using it for software
features. Although we do have some money that wasn't donated, and we
could certainly advertise that doners could donate toward a specific
feature/bug.
The prize we had in june has no string attached, so might be spent for
rewarding developers.
Also, I think that membership fees and donation should make it possible
that the donor or the member may be able to indicate how if wishes part
of the money to be spent. For now, I suppose we have three "specials"
* I would prefer that this be assigned to hardware
* I would prefer that this be assigned to software development
* I would prefer that this be assigned to wikireaders production
