I do think it would motivate some people to fix a bug or two, though I would say it wouldn't encourage long-term contributors, just a bunch of hacked together patches which "fix" a bug. > RE: road-map and bug-fix-only-releases: Great ideas. I know jgarzik hates the idea of branching for releases, but quite a few projects do that, and it seems to work fairly well. I would support the idea of starting with 0.4 and branching for bugfixes to an 0.4 branch, then adding new features to a head branch to be eventually called 0.5. >=20 >=20 > RE: paid full-time project lead: I arranged to get paid to work on > bitcoin full-time before I left for Australia; more details when I get > back week-after-next.
