Bounty County

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

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.

It’s been a lot of fun through seven versions, starting with my original post about it, to Rael Dornfest (the author of blosxom) picking it up and the v2 release, [...]
