And there's the winning point; since OS SW is community-based,
it'd be *uber* nice to have the ability to "Add to this bounty"
with a few clicks on this site.  This would allow the community
to "vote", as 'twere, with cash.  Before you knew it, you might
indeed have enough to make it worth someone's time to code
$some_chore.

My $5.00,
