Hi Simon, *,

Back in the day, one proposal for handling this was to have a seperate
tendering programme for community-initiated feature requests, funded
with the income from putting LibreOffice in the Mac & Windows App stores.
The features to be implemented would be community-sourced, converted
from request to proper proposal by a staff member (possibly also funded
from the app revenue), validated by ESC and then voted by users The user
voting would require sufficient "karma", e.g. from answering on user
forums or by virtue of being a Trustee, or possibly by donating to the
fund. We had hoped to prefer "new" contributors in the tendering
process, and also make it agile enough to not require a specialist
sales-person to participate.
That's the undetailed synopsis; I think I have a longer description
somewhere in a haunted folder if the new Board is interested.
Yes that what I just wrote in the old thread :) : a channel to bring
users, bounties, BugZilla issues and freelance developers together, also
with the idea to grow the pool of LibreOffice developers.
Cheers,
Cor
