Marketplace / bounties for Covide development
(See Wikipedia: Bounty (reward))
Every developer and user is cordially invited to make Covide the greatest Virtual Office ever. To organize the possibility of co-operation and contribution we use a list of tickets. In fact small projects. In general those projects have a bounty attached. If not, no one suggested a bounty yet or we placed 'Bounty=none'. If a bounty is placed or nothing is placed, developers as well as users are invited to participate based on the principle of a marketplace. So developers can accept a ticket with its bounty or ask for a higher bounty. Users can offer a bounty to attache on a ticket. The Covide Marketplace also gives OTHER users than the one who initially placed a feature request the possibility to ADD to the bounty already offered. When 'Bounty=none' is placed, the particular ticket is ment to be part of a project actualy performed by a project team.

Flow summary
On our special Wiki for Covide development we informe very exactly what is needed.
- Once a ticket is created, it will not have an owner.
- A Covide team member will add a bounty.
- If a developer/company is interested in working on it, they can send a mail to covidebounty@… (covidebounty @ covide.net without spaces) as long as they have no rights on our tracker.
A Covide team member will then add the owner or contact us via oDesk.
- If a ticket is too long in this development state (lasts longer than was foreseen in the Roadmap), other developers may contact us through covidebounty@… to takeover the tickety with its bounty.
- It is required the code is uploaded to http://reviewboard.covide.net so developers can review it and provide feedback.
- Once final review is done the code will be committed to the SVN tree by one of the core developers and the bounty will be rewarded to the developer/company that submitted the code.
