Bounties for Bitweaver development.
If you want a new Bitweaver feature but don't have the time or skills to do it yourself, consider offering a
Bounty for the work. Even if the bounty you offer by itself is not enough to motivate someone to do the work, once you create the bounty, others may add to it making it an attractive project for someone.
Current Bounties Available:
- ((Bounty: New Template/Flash Integration)) - A Custom template with flash integrated package in the center / $1000.00 / open
- Bounty: WarnMeBeforeILOSEmyEdit - Clicking a link on a page before saving is a leading cause of lost edits. Can we have a little warning popup to prevent this? / $??.?
- Bounty: Tags - Add tagging functionality to bitweaver / $600.00

When you want to work on a bounty, first contact the maintainer. The maintainer will explain to you if there's already work going on somewhere and what happens if several people claim the bounty - who will win and under what conditions. This is really up to the maintainer to decide, usually together with the group of people that have added to the original bounty.
