> finance some developers

Is anyone here familiar with how this is done around here ? Setting-up a
kickstarter-style bounty fund seems feasible, but are any of the developers
with sufficient knowledge of OO interested ?

If none of the developers with sufficient knowledge of OO is interested, then
an hired outsider will have to spend an awful lot of effort getting familiar
with it - this changes the budget quite a bit.

In the history of OO's development, have there been any other cases of features
unpopular with insiders whose development users managed to set up ?

Also, it seems to me that while an actual "outline view" is a huge bloody chunk
of invasive new code, just letting the user promote/demote 'text nodes' (OO
internal vernacular for a paragraph - if I understand well) along the outline
hierarchy (using icons in an 'outline' toolbar or keyboard shortcuts similar to
the the 'Promote/Demote One Level' and 'Move Up/Down with Subpoints' that work
well with bullet lists) might be a reasonable first approach in the right
direction.

Now, does the readership of this train wreck include any insider with an
informed opinion about all that ?
