"I pledged $200 to get the DIB Engine fixed two weeks ago an it still hasn't been done. What's going on?" "It's now been two MONTHS since I pledged $200 on the DIB Engine and it's still not fixed. Wine is so disorganised. There's real money here and you don't want it. I'm glad I never paid it." "Six months, no progress on DIB Engine. Never using Wine again. Get your act together!" ^^ This will happen more than bugs with donations/pledges getting fixed faster than other bugs. And if WPF gets the money anyway and no one else, what point is there attaching the donations to a particular bug?
