Bounty County

Wednesday 28 December 2005 - Filed under Uncategorized

I’ve written about open-source programming bounties before, and found a new one yesterday: Bounty County, which looks reasonable enough despite the name.

I didn’t see any OS X projects on there yet – it’s mostly Gnome stuff – but I’m sure they would list a Mac bounty if you sent it in.

Unlike some proposals I have seen for bounty sites, this doesn’t appear to do anything other than list bounties – they don’t hold money or evaluate completion. Maybe that’s all that it takes, but I’m not sure – I think it’d be more tempting to try for bounties if there were guarantees that my time would be well-spent. Think of the difference between selling things on eBay vs. craigslist – they both work, but craigslist always seems a little sketch.
