These are good themes but a conversation with one of the
bountysource founders revealed to me that smaller, precise
tasks for moderate amounts tend to do better than large
projects that are only partially specified, even for large
amounts.
That's because BountySource is only suited to bite-sized tasks.
It is not capable of supporting large, complex projects.
As an analogy, BountySource may be great to get potholes filled,
but incapable of getting a whole motorway or public transport
network developed.
We should break each of these down into bite-sized bugzilla
issues.
Instead of re-organising the project to suit the model of
third-party website services, the D community needs to recognise
that H. S. Teoh is right. The project needs an organised team of
full time developers complete with team leadership and project
management.
