I'm also against fees. |

I guess that would fork Gentoo if implemented ... |

How about feature bounties? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
e.g. I need foo support in program bar, I open a bounty on |
| 14 |
bounty.gentoo.org for 50$ |
| 15 |
If someone implements it he gets x% of it, the rest goes to a good |
| 16 |
cause. |
| 17 |
This is a really strange idea, I know, but maybe this would motivate |
| 18 |
people to implement some features wanted by many. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
And it would motivate the implementation of "boring" work. |
