I guess we are not thinking about the global extent of asterisk. $200 in a "third world" would be great money. You can almost buy a Dell computer for that much.
But this is more like a $200 bounty to design, build and replace your Yugo engine with a Ferrari engine. And I only get the money if and when the customer is satisfied. I guess the Bounty poster does not understand "You get what you pay for." Add a couple of zeroes and bring the big guns out of the woodwork.

I'm with you on that one. $200 might be an acceptable bounty to give someone a bit of added incentive to contribute something to the community, but if the code is closed source and owned by the purchaser, than $200 won't even buy a day's worth of real coding. If you want to own it, you don't put out a bounty, you're hiring a programmer, and paying appropriately... regards, Paul _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
