BountyFunding

  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

      Start using it for your own FOSS projects and tell us what you think - is it a good idea, what needs improvement, how can you help. It would be great if you can subscribe to the mailing list users@bountyfunding.org. Any help is appreciated - discussing foss and crowdfunding, coding, writing plugins for different issue trackers and payment gateways, testing.

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

      Every month I pledge up to 50 € for BountyFunding development, split between two or three easy to pick-up tasks. Go to http://bountyfunding.org/report/1?sort=bounty&asc=0 to see the current list.

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with BountyFunding that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

    • [X]

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.

About BountyFunding

(logo)

BountyFunding is a crowdfunding platform specifically created for free / open source software projects. It provides software users with the opportunity to personally influence a project’s direction by sponsoring the individual features or bugfixes that are most important to them. It provides developers and other contributors with an extra source of income, allowing them to dedicate more time and resources to the project.

BountyFunding is decentralised by design – this means we actively encourage free / open source projects to run their own platform instance, which then naturally integrate with their existing issue tracker. BountyFunding itself is a free / open source software and is licensed under AGPL.

BountyFunding currently integrates with Trac issue tracker and Paypal payment gateway. More plugins like Redmine and Github integration or Bitcoin payment are coming soon.

Every month I pledge up to 50 euros for BountyFunding development, split between two or three easy to pick-up tasks. More details on the project website.
