donation system for specific OS enhancements

Hi! I think it might be useful to introduce a system on this website through wich users can donate money towards the development of specific features of the OS. There are quite a few feature suggestions on the wish lists board now. I suspect over time many of these will be discussed to the point that it would be roughly outlined which technical route should be taken to implement them. At this point a specification draft could be drawn up in the wiki. Once that is complete, a donation button could be added, so that users could donate money which would be handed to developers once the feature/project is completed. If multiple developers contributed to a feature, the money could be split according to their individual contribution (percentage of the source code they wrote). Features to contribute to might be things like a new filing system stack, an OpenGL accelerated window manager or HAL implementations for specific hardware. |
