While I agree 100 % (nodding my head all the way), I suppose there are people who have wishes, but cannot contribute themselves (English or skills too bad for documentation, no sense for testing and debugging, ...). > If that does not interest you then improving the wiki could be a > good start.

The wiki is perfect for extra explanation, examples, and so forth!

Bounties are one thing. Yet I have had multiple encounters of wishes to donate. I have always recommended the donation page, hoping it actually provides useful funds for e.g. travelling (and drinks ;-)), test hardware, whatever. Just wondering: I there any public tracking of how funds are used? > What I would like to see is the project use its funds to pay developers, > but that's a different discussion. Interesting!
