Hi, Not sure what a bounty is, but it looks like you were trying to recruit assistance to fast track activities. To understand what happened have a look at this:
What was the objective Who was the intended stakeholder What are the communications channels they use Is there a precedents which worked and which did not work Close: I have leave dinner with my family is calling, but I am happy to assist in understanding why it was nto as successful as you thought it should be. And how it could be more successful in the future. david -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mattias Põldaru Sent: Saturday, 10 August 2013 5:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Bounty Program finished - a short review 09.08.2013 18:51, G.

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?
