Ideas for a few new Bounties

During the last days I had the idea for some new Bounties. Perhaps this also has been discussed already (and rejected) but I did got aware it. If this should be the csae please forgive me …

All actual Bounties are covering quite large amounts of work. There is only one exception to this. The RISC OS General Bounty repeats very year (ok, of course there is also a lot of work to do behind it).

Would it make sense to setup a few small yearly Bounties e.g. for:
- The “best” Betatester(s)
- The most active code contributor for ROOL RISC OS source not covered by the other bounties

Of course it is difficulty to determine the “best” Betatester. Is quality the criteria or amount of testing or a mixture of both or one year that and in the other year this?

So perhaps it would make sense e.g. to try to get 300 GBP every year for such a bounty and at year end some people have look on contributors and their work. One gets 100 GBP, two 50 GBP and four 25 GBP (Ok more might be complecated as there might be not so much RISC OS users anymore … ;-) )

The idea behind such Bounties is to motivate more persons to do small activities on RISC OS instead the large usual Bounties.

What is your opinion about this?

Nice idea.

So many, not so much – you can count the number of RISC OS users. No offence, it’s a normal German thing and my German saugt :)

So many, not so much

Sorry for this. I remember that around 40 years ago several teachers tried to tell us the difference. But I forgot/didn’t pay attention to it. :-(

The idea seems good to me.
