Hi, Actually, users-oriented-crowdfundings have proven quite successful in the past. And it works something like this:
- A small number of non-developers members of the community (aka users) discuss and gather ideas of how to improve or implement a certain feature; - They contact one or more core developers with a requirements document to understand if it's feasible and how much would it cost; - They choose the best deal; - Then, they launch a crowdfunding and do some marketing around it to gather the necessary funds. - Having gathered the money, the developer implements the new feature or improvement, which becomes available in a next release. Obviously, like every change in the code, the feature or improvement must be somehow consensual, but I believe that check geometries tool is a good candidate for this.
