I think the idea of "Bounty" was pretty much retired. I don't think any have been proposed in the last year, and it is very much questionable that any remaining listed bounties will be easily collectable. I tried collecting on a number of "low-hanging" or not so low-hanging bounties probably a year ago or so, and it has been my experience that the process of trying to collect the bounties (even though I eventually managed to get about 75%) amounted to a disproportionate effort and, quite worse, was a major turnoff. It turns out that even a bounty of €25 or similar throws many people into "bill-paying" mode where they question every achievement by default, delay payment until they have have found time and leisure to corroborate that the stuff does what they think they wanted to have (partly different from what they specified they wanted to have) when they were still using LilyPond etc etc. So it has been at least my experience that with regard to the balance of motivating and demotivating experiences, the bounty system was not working out. I'd recommend against linking to the remaining bounties. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
