The point is just anyone who personally thinks a particular feature or bug is really overdue, should be able to directly encourage developers by saying "I offer you $xyz for this". The more important a bug or feature is to the community, the greater the amount of money will be.
The point is that we currently have no decision making procedure for which features _should_ be implemented.
Encouraging donators to offer money for features they want to be realized would make the situation even worse since most people not involved in coding don't "wish" things which would be necessary from a developer's point of view.
My vision:
- we should clean up these immense lists of feature wishes
- we should establish priorities
- the developers should say what makes sense and what doesn't
- the developers should give an estimate for the most important features:
** how complicated it is to implement ** if someone's willing to do it ** or if there should be a bounty set out for it (because noone wants to do it or noone can do it)
greetings, elian
Elian is absolutely correct.
I just had a look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.3_comments_and_bug_reports
Ihmo, that is just as a village pump; it might be nice to sweep the floor sometimes :-)
On top of estimates listed by Elian, I would add estimate of "how long could it take to be developped".
