[OSGeo-Discuss] Jobs list?

[Chris Holmes]

Yeah, I'd really like to see something like this, have been thinking 
about it in the context of GeoServer.  I've thought of a pledgebank type 
mechanism (http://www.pledgebank.com) that allows people and 
organizations to put in money towards a goal, but it only gets released 
once the goal has been reached.  I think we should probably hold off on 
it for a bit in the context of this foundation though, until we get 
things up and running.  It would be great if we could have software to 
support it, maybe we can even try to nudge collabnet to implement 
something along those lines, as I think it's something a lot of projects 
could really use...
