Hmm, well I guess I might have jumped the gun a bit. I can see how it
could be useful. I don't really believe that open source software should
have a price when it comes to drivers and things like that. There are a
lot of sites like this one in the aspect of paying programmers to write
software, none of them directed at any one OS. I don't see the point in
directing this site to freebsd. All the freebsd drivers should be open
source and Libra.

Well, for something like Adobe Flash Player maybe this could be true,
but what if I want to be able to use my old and unsupported Network
Card on FreeBSD, maybe there are people willing to pay something for
that... I mean, just because something isnt working as expected in all
directions that doesnt mean it is completelly useless.

I find this completely useless as a site. No one is going to get
"flash 9 on freebsd with opera" for 200 dollars. I know people
will want to add bounties to it and it will be like 250 then like
300 and as time passes it will be a million dollars or such but I
don't think the problem is that people aren't willing to do the
work, its that places like adobe has closed its software so that
we can't really create anything.

Over the last year or so I've seen a few references to
software bounties for FreeBSD, often with people commenting
that there is no way for people to pledge their support
(financial or otherwise), other than mailing lists and the like.
I decided I would bite the bullet, so I'm announcing
http://www.freebsdbounties.info
It's very early in the site's lifecycle, but hopefully it will
become a valuable resource.
