Announcing FreeBSD Bounties!

[Hywel Mallett]

A few times in the past some people (notably the guys from rsync.net)  
have offered bounties to encourage FreeBSD development. These have  
usually been announced on the mailing lists, and if others want to  
offer their support, then they can, but maybe it's not as easy to  
collate all the information as it could be.

Some research reveals that there is unlikely to be any official list  
of bounties, due to the legal status of FreeBSD.

As a result, I decided to create a site where people can offer  
bounties, others can lend their support, and developers can be sign up  
to claim the bounties.

At the moment it's still in the early stages, but hopefully it'll grow  
and prove to be a valuable resource for the FreeBSD community.

All feedback is appreciated.
