Offers bounties for certain features or bugs in bugzilla. Call them 1 time cash prizes. 2. Acts as a escrow or broker for third parties wanting to offer a bounty. (see 1) I don't think this will discourage development. There are tons of little features I would like to see that no one is working on atm where a bounty system would be nice. If I had $500 spare I would put up a bounty for the 3com driver or for the NMake backend for the xmlbuildsystem. Also single user contributions could be pooled for a bug. NOTE: I DO NOT WANT A PLEDGE SYSTEM. THEY DON'T WORK. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO A BUG THEN THIS WILL BE THE BEST WAY! Think about the following ------------------------------------------- Steven Edwards Enters bug #311337 "Make ReactOS have a 3com Vortext (959/930) driver" Alex gives $50 earmarked bug #311337 Steven gives $100 to bug #311337 Some random user throws in $200 for bug #311337 Someone decides "hey $350 will pay for a nice weekend at the beach! I'll take it!" And they start coding. They get a working driver and it passes QA so it goes in SVN. The ReactOS Foundation then writes a check for $350 to said developer. ------------------------------------------- > 2) I think expos should get more then 5%.

I want to get something up on foundation.reactos.org and then have a discussion on the ros-foundation list on what needs to be ammended in the bylaws and we can vote on restructure, memebers, etc. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Help to tester : Build Ros on WIN98 PC

Hi all, Buiding Reactos on a Win98 machine does noy work anymore ( at least for me) . It was working several ago.

Bug Check Out of Memory!

by James Tabor

Hi! This was not unexpected. I noticed last night csrss was over 11000K bytes in size. The memory leak in csrss is handles, some of them do not close. So the number goes from ~80 to 2000+ after two days of building ros over and over. You can try to close the windows but the handle count is the same so~~~~~.

livecd crash in serial.sys on real hw

by Royce Mitchell III

essentially, I've tracked down the problem to SerialPnpStartDevice() being called with ResourceList == NULL.
