idea is good, now if only we could come up with implementation, which
looks like it will only work with with some liquid nitorgen cooling,
nonetheless ( impossible ).
Here is a Python implementation for a (piecewise-linear monotonic)
pledge function
http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh-files/rspp/rspp.py
(calculation of the maximal sum).
Here is another:
http://thecircle.org.au/compute_contribution.py
But the main issue is explaining the idea, advertising and getting the
pledges, not the calculation.
A web page would help but just putting up a web page is not enough, it
needs a lot of work trying to convince parties who may benefit that it
makes sense for them (e.g. Linux distributors).
(A much simpler implementation (and idea) is PledgeBank
http://www.pledgebank.com/
with much less flexibility. The advantage is that the site already exists.)
