[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bug bounties

[Tim Spindler]

Rogan,

It is a little unclear what you are proposing.  Are you proposing that
bounties are given for fixing bugs?  Finding bugs? or Both?

Don't get me wrong, I think it has some real potential.  If we are to put
resources to it, I would advocate for rewarding those who fix bugs because
I'm sure many are pressured to add features but not rewarded to fix bugs.
