Would anybody be interested in a Euphoria code bounty site? It would work
like this:
+ You want something done in Euphoria and can't (or don't want to) do it
yourself
+ You go to the Euphoria code bounty site and see if it's already requested
- If so, you contribute to the current bounty
- If not, you create the bounty and add the initial funds
Programmers who complete the required code will collect the bounty. The code
will typically remain public domain, although side contracts could be made.
The point is simply to pay programmers (who are time-limited) to get code
written for a little cash. Some of the initial projects could even be the
requests on the Sourceforge page.
Whadda ya think?

Here's how I figure it could work. I can develop the site and allow people
to make payments to the Bounty Account using Google or a credit card or
whatever (I guess I could take checks, too). The funds will go to a savings
account. A bounty can be collected when the original request is satisfied.
The bounty site would have to take a teensy bit out of the transaction to
cover hosting fees. I expect help in hosting the site, not a profit. :)
I don't know what the tax consequences would be, though. Any accountants
around here? :)
