Please contact Boris to have your name added to the list of participants. Unlike some other cells, participation will not be restricted, although we would like to have serious progress on the issues stated below.

Incenting development: bounties

Several other projects have a version of "bounties" — money donated to fund development of specific features and/or bug fixes. Should/can Drupal adopt a similar system?

Links of interest

Funding Drupal

As well as external, "business" interest in Drupal, what can us business-type people do to help fund/market/develop Drupal as a community?

Sponsored and proprietary modules

Everything from the typical open source responsibilities discussion to the ins and outs of receiving recognition for sponsored modules.

One good example here is (one of) the *Nukes. There was a requirement to include a copyright notice and link back to the community. Would it be appropriate for a sponsored module to include such a hard-coded link somewhere? What are the pros and cons of this? In what other ways could module sponsors be recognized and promoted?
