[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] bounty program?

I like that idea very much.
The question remains if there are people ready to pay bounties or fulfill them.
Don't hesitate to give input things you would like (this can also be
to me directly if you don't want to post to on the list)

I guess it will be more the end users who will want to get a certain
functionality implemented.
I see that some of the item in 2006Wishlist where performed.

What would it take to change this idea into action?
