I've created a wiki page, but I mistrust myself, wondering if that offers an admissible place. http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/user_requests Not for funding likely, but for a rough overview, what users demand or developers offer ? > It would be great if such a system could be implemented in a central > place like linuxaudio.org, > Hm. People already can donate to most open projects. For a developer it's a great risk, depending on donations only. That's why those donate buttons don't help much with the projects progress, because (often) there is no reliability, transparency, etc. It's usually a welcome addition for developers, but no real funding option. > > What are the pros and cons of such a system? >
