Every once and a while the topic of coding bounties will come up, usually by someone who needs a specific feature added but doesn’t have the know how to do so.

As of today, the best way to go about this is to contact the developer directly. Unfortunately, The FreeBSD Foundation is unable to assist since they cannot accept targeted donations.

iX Systems has created a simple web based application for posting bounties, getting developers and sponsors on board, posting the committed code in a browser
viewable format, and then handle final payout upon completion.

They are looking for PHP developers interested in helping develop the site. In addition, they are looking for a team leader that could make sure developing contributors are actually involved so that the final payoff can be shared accordingly.
