GNOME Foundation is proud to announce the relaunch of the open source desktop integration bounty. The aim of the contest is to recruit new developers and to more tightly integrate the various projects that make up the desktop into a more coherent, and complete user experience.

This contest is sponsored & authored by Novell and is being administered by the GNOME Foundation

The contest consist of new set of small projects and also the unsolved old projects from the previous rounds.

Complete the hack, enter the contest, and collect the prize.

Unlike the round one and two, there is no time deadline. The completed project will go into the upcoming GNOME release, depending upon the freeze dates.

People participating in the contest will be hanging out on the #bounties channel on irc.gimp.org.

Thanks for everyone who participated so far!

Happy GNOME hacking! :-)

How 'official' are these bounties?

As a person above me mentioned, these bounties seem to not be coordinated with some of the actual maintainers of those projects, so those people don't necceserally agree with, or want to accept those features.

For many of these bounties I havn't actually seen bugzilla bus open with actual contributions for the module maintainers.

There are also bounties for firefox. Why arn't they for epiphany? Also, what are the chances that such a patch would actually get accepted?

So are these really Gnome bounties, or Novell bounties?
