Firstly - we have no official team members there yet. I've applied, being one of the members in the github organization.

Secondly - Bountysource integrates with github. This means if someone donates money to an issue, Bountysource can update the issue with some details, like label, amount, etc.

See image attachment. The options are:

  • Issue title (ie, amount of the bounty)
  • Issue body (ie, text indicating bounty)
  • Issue label (ie, for filtering in github issues)

Do we want this integration, and with what parts, some, all or none?

I don't think the integration would be a bad thing. If it gives incentives for developers to help out with harder tasks, I could see it as having a positive outcome.

I'd personally vote for the body text and the label. The issue title is a bit ... too much maybe :P

Well, I'm admin now. How do we maintain membership? Github org members? Vote for anyone else?

And what next? Should we promote it via official accounts? I see no reason why not to, might as well give it a try, the site seems quite nifty and supports bitcoin too which is nice.

Couldn't there be a risk that the organization become flooded by bad quality PR all to get money ?

This is a cool idea anyway. Can't wait to see how all of this goes ! :D

No, because the money would not go to the organisation, it goes to the developer.
