Project Registry (was Ransomware)

[SimPLsol at aol.com]

Dan et al.,
     Seems there is a lot of interest in the Ransomware idea. Opinions appear 
to be split between philanthropy and profit (that will work itself out). 
Brian, and others, wondered if this was just a debate or whether we would actually 
build something. Let's try building it:

     The first thing needed is some type of registry for proposals and bids. 
So let's make that the first request.

Work requested: Build a Project Request Registry

Description: This will be a web site with functionality similar to the 
current Feature Enhancement section of STSRevzilla. It will allow users to post 
requests, investors to make pledges, and developers to bid on the projects. It 
will also let developers post proposals and request financing. There will be a 
summary page of all requests and a detail page for each request. The format of 
the detail page will be similar to the one used for this request. There will 
also be detail pages for each bid/quote.

Moderator for this request: Dan?/Paul?/???

Voting basis: One vote per dollar invested

Distribution of completed project: Given to Revolution Ltd. if they agree to 
host it. Given to any other host if Rev. declines the gift. This work is not 
intended to be sold, no profits are anticipated.

Maintenance: Developer's proposal should contain reserves for bug fixes 
during the first three months this is deployed. Improvements or later bug fixes 
will be handled by a separate requests.

Limit on number of investors: None

Currency used: US Dollars

Minimum contribution per investor: $10

Maximum contribution per investor: $10,000
