[Libreoffice-qa] Fwd: FreedomSponsors, LibreOffice and Bugzilla

[vulcain]

Hello,
Thanks to Sophie to give me  the link.

I think it's a good idea to show a link in Bugzilla to crowdfunding.

Cannonical give a similar feature in Launchpad 6 years ago but with a little
use and it's before the big wave of KickStarter & Co: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/91201 The feature have been
removed.

If you search  a little, you could find some requests to collect money and
paid a developer to resolve a bug or code a new feature, example:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118665#c128,
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124096 or
http://www.gimpusers.com/polls/111

/(I see that freedomSponsor make a big lobbing, Mozilla have a similar
message:
http://mozilla.6506.n7.nabble.com/A-Bugzilla-plugin-for-FreedomSponsors-Can-you-help-td287367.html 
)/

For me it 's a good answer for the no-developer member: if you have a
problem, the free software's licence give you the right to change it. But,
it's need you have the knowledge. If you don't have this knowledge, you
must:
* wait
* buzz for give focus in your bug
* paid a developer to make a patch
* priest
* kidnap a developer

A link to a crowdfunding websites, help them to paid a developer.

When i see
https://github.com/freedomsponsors/freedomsponsors-bugzilla-plugin, i have a
little problem: it's only for freedomsponsor site ?? And the other site??
One is good, a lot of is better.

I think a specific items (like "See also", "Keyword") where we could add a
link should be great. 

The top is API who give the link and all the money collected.
