There are a few different takes on how to use bounties to encourage work on specific projects, or to share support from specific organizations.

- Summer of Content (projects and mentors)
- Bounties for coding projects needed
Background
Past project experiences
Sources for bounty info: Google for trac bounties
- libsecondlife Bounties - offers USD and Linden-dollars
- Tinymail Bounties (none currently)
- Dr Queue Bounties (Wiki-based none currently)
- Gnome bounties (archive, no longer done)
What to consider: rules, eligibility, project length, bounty size, incremental updates
