We (the D language foundation) have a bounty system. It's not bad, however I wouldn't expect the world from it: the kind of things that get bounties put on them are often not $150 bugs - i.e. it's not always the incentive you might imagine it to be. The bounties do however work as a statement of intent for new contributors to see what is important vs nice to have. I also would let the bounties be set by users rather than centrally. We also maintain a fund ourselves with enough money to fund a few things ourselves, our so-called HR fund, I recommend doing that also. |

So you mean go to an issue and say I will add another 50 bucks if that get's resolved. Makes sense and will certainly would require a system.
Having a dedicated HR found sound good we have been wondering how to call/do this.
Thanks for sharing your experience - it certainly helped staying realistic. It seems it will not magically lead to all issues being resolved by others. It was a slim hope but yeah probably more a dream then anything . It still seems worth a try
