Hello Nadine.
First of all, I apologize for how poorly I explained myself.
What happens if the developer doesn't implement the feature (got busy, couldn't do it, simply disapeared, whatever)?
In my idea, if he does not work and deliver:
* at the end of the time limit, he gets bad votes from his donators; he will loose reputation points, which will make it difficult to find donations next time;
* he does not get all the money, since money is not transferred all in advance to his bank account, but delayed.
For a more detailed explanation of what I am proposing, please have a look at: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=111083529028863&w=2
The site could also offer an option to have the developer sign a legal contract, which would give even more guarantees to donators. I am investigating this possibility. OTOH, it might be that the reputation system is already sufficient.
Sincerely,
Maurizio _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
