How to deal with a partial PR?

[howardroark]

Yeah it seems like the $1000 bounty concept depends on completeness. Ostensibly, completeness is sort of an ideal that may not be truly achievable. What would nice is if the $1000 could be "allocated" somehow and paid out as completeness is worked towards.

Perhaps you could have a top level pool of funds that has a two way relationship with pull requests as they grow and shrink in potential... vs tying up funds in endless semantic debates. If this is a government thing, the politics of perception carry a lot of weight. If you can decentralize the allocation process you would distance yourself from politics.

(Crypto currencies may favour an evolving strategy much more, and be more welcoming towards developers from the developing world. You can loose a lot of money through international remittence. Also they are less "real" in the eyes of political outsiders and may be more suitable for experimentation.)

This is a great discussion! I want say that the intention of the $1000 pay for pull is to build community and reward people for their effort. I like the notion of a "working towards completeness" model to encourage collaboration, what do you think would a reasonable way to allocate/split a bounty between collaborators?

I'd like to move this issue to our bcdevexchange/rapid-adoption repo so it is linked to place where we are building the pay for pull wiki. Any objections?
