Did we do too little announcements? Are there websites or places
around where more interested people would have picked up the news?
I only recently re-joined the mailing list a few weeks ago and was
unaware of the bounty program until then. I wonder if an announcement
on slashdot.org would have netted additional interest. I speculate
there are a lot of readers there who look favorably upon gnucash and
might be induced to participate.
Maybe posting slashvertisment with the conclusion from Christian would
gain some interest afterwards?
Maybe something like (take the title with a little salt, this is journal
afterall and add some links and correct factual and grammar errors):
Ask Slashdot: GnuCash bounty program partly failed. What did we do wrong?
GnuCash project leader Christian Stimming finds that bounty program does
not attract new developers. The bounty program started ? weeks ago and
was finished only recently. The project was announced on blogs ? and
even made the news ?. Although all the secondary goals such as all bug
reports with added bounty were reached, reaching the main goal of
growing developer base failed. No new developers stepped forward,
furthermore, we got exactly zero questions about the project.
Are all projects of this kind bound to fail or is this specific to
GnuCash? Did we do something completely wrong?

Mattias
