I'll donate $250 or more, but only for a vote on what work gets funded.
...
Some have reacted with horror to this idea but it seems pragmatic to me.
That's because you aren't the one doing the work. You can't force me to do the work, and as was stated, $250 is peanuts. Heck, I did $250 worth of work last night for free working on porting an ethernet driver from PAO to FreeBSD at my consulting wages (for free even).
Obviously, the more you donate the more you can influence the vote, but that's as it should be. It's not a political democracy.
It's not a democracy at all. That's why I think a 'hint' is a better way to go. You get the warm fuzzy feeling that you are making a choice, but you aren't *expecting* your vote to come true. More like a wish than a vote. :)
