I'm just voicing my private opinion here. But I also wouldn't hold my breath for a fully fledged bounty system to appear on bugreports.qt.io right now ... Fortunately, that's also not necessary: I think nobody will stop you if you just announce bounties through a comment. I'd probably use one of the known bounty sites though, and then just link to it. https://snowdrift.coop/p/snowdrift/w/en/othercrowdfunding#bounty has a good overview of platforms. Bountysource seems to be most popular with currently two open Qt related bounties, but hey, you can already earn 100$ for https://freedomsponsors.org/issue/440/rewrite-of-qt-in-erlang :-). I think it'll be a lot easier to convince the Qt Project JIRA admins to hack on a bounty system if there's some precedence that the system actually works :) Regards Kai Koehne _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
