He means a system (through maemo.org or wherever) where people can post up descriptions of projects and an amount of money - which coders can then pickup and work on. If they complete the spec then they get the bounty.

e.g. "I need an app on my N900 so that it can create a realistic fart sound. £100 is offered."
