This is just an idea I am putting forward. Since it cannot be
implemented or maintained by one person I thought of puting this idea in
the public domain.
Thank you for looking into it.

Based on E-Bay success model
Goal - To reward young contributers to the open source code.
To develop and reward discipline for open source
program development.
To provide longevity to open source (and possibly shared
source) applications.
Step 1
User registration (Last Name & CPU ID are the key) = Voting members
First Name
Last Name
Email Address
Linux CPU ID (unique)
Screen ID
Password
Step 2
Developer registration (Group Name & CPU ID are the key)
First Name
Last Name
Programming Group/Company/Association Name
Mailing Address (Street, State, ZIP code, Country)
Email Address
Linux CPU ID (unique)
Screen ID
Password
Code Standards
Should have the funtional items listed in Project file.
Code should compile cleanly without warnings or errors
(i.e no > /dev/null 2>&1 for errors in the Makefiles)
Code should be documented
Code should compile and run on the latest released versions
of the following major distributions:
(Slackware, SuSe, Redhat, Mandrake, Turbo Linux, Pacific Linux).
Code should list the system requirements (package dependencies
and such)
Projects (These items are examples only)
Dia
OpenOffice
Snort plugins
GIMP plugins
Cluster Management software
.
.
.
Step 3
Project Ratings - Projects are rated by the following contributions
Functionality added
Functionality fixed
Documented functionality
Test platforms
Test results
Step 4
Process of project competition
Developer will register for the project. (Group Name and
CPU ID will be the key)
Developer will work on the project and put the source code
back to the archive.
Registered users will download the new source and test it out.
If there are any errors
Registered users/public testers will communicate with the
developer the errors discovered.
else
Registered users will rate the functionality/code/documentation
of the developer
The highest rated programs will be awarded the Project Prize
amount via PayPal
Public contribution to the prize amount
Public will contribute via PayPal ($1 (local currency) or more)
(Are there any other online escrow accounts?)
Contestent qualifications
Coded and contributed the source back to the source tree.
Must have contributed code atleast twice to the project goal.
**Contestents cannot contribute for the first time on the final day
