Pooling money to get a module made

[scubaguy]

We all have great ideas for modules, but don't always have the knowledge to do it ourselves or enough money to pay a developer to create it for us. Now there is a solution... microPledge: Get software made microPledge: Get software made microPledge helps software get made and developers get paid..

You post your idea, developer bids a price and the the community members pledge money to pool their money to pay the developer. The developer only gets paid once the project is completed and agreed upon by the members who pledged by vote. Pledges are kept in a trust account and you can retract your pledge up until the point when it is called in.

I threw this idea out into the Joomla forums awhile back and I'm glad to see someone brought it to life.
