I agree here.

Like marxian I think this kind of donation pool will not attract significantly any developer resources.

But even so, this can be a worthwhile experiment: It can raise some exposure to some projects, prompting some people to donate some money. It can raise some developers interest seeing that many people are interested in some feature and then do a contribution. And at the end of the day, it can even get some developer an extra beer or coffee :P.

But looking at your thread title I see it.

Oh fak, bludy Android autocorrect!

(Yes, I am typing it on my daughter's tablet, much easier than my Jolla, despite the autocorrect.)

Thanks for noticing.

since the (deserved) fundrising for cepi did his work pretty well and fast....i am thinking that a system like this could just work. maybe it worth a try.

agree with juiceme"s thought of a forum
i got some points
- lets start first by using whatever available
-adding a experimentel second active topics feed which can house a diffrent class of active threads like these
- i say put the notifications of buy and sell section and devlopment section there for now
-let people create threads for individual requests with a poll
-let devlopers create threads with their thoughts and raise some beers to write the code
- - i dare to say lets start raising some beers in our backyards for juiceme for a little -TMO- restructring
approval by board is a matter of intrest of tmo'ians i say

I don't think anybody would doubt that money can be raised. The question is whether it will have the desired effect (more manpower), and also whether there might be any undesirable effects resulting from the community becoming increasingly concerned with money. It is no use claiming to be different whilst also playing by the same rules as everyone else.

Just for an illustration: I have two apps lined up for the N900. None of them particularly important or useful, just my hobby projects. I would not expect any of them to feature on anyone's wish list. As I say, this is just for an illustration, to emphasize marxian's point.

One is a complete toy - really simple and nearly finished, just needs some finishing touches. The other one a bit more involved. And guess what? I have just checked: I started the toy one in May 2015 and the other one in March 2014. I just cannot get around to finishing either of them, never get two hours straight to do it. Pouring money down my throat would do no good, it is the time that I need.
