Re: [pfSense] Is there a would it pass/what-if capability?
Does pfSense have a crowd funding page for projects (I've never seen one)? At the risk of creating more work for someone, having a page that lists something such as project name and description, funding requirement, estimated delivery method and timing once funded along with some buttons to allow contributions via credit card and PayPal funds could go a long way to getting things like this rolling. If it was me, I'd have the start of each potential crowd funded project be a forum and list announcement of a set-time interest survey (say 1 week) that would allow people to express how much money they'd be willing to donate and that would give an idea of the viability of the request as a crowd-funded effort. I wouldn't be surprised if some such open-source web software already exists. I'd definitely be willing to contribute a small amount to such a would it pass/what-if capability to be added to pfSense. While I'm a little surprised that something like this doesn't already exist, given its obvious value, I'd also guess that it'd be a rather involved task.
