Good points! I have tried floating this bounties idea on the mailing list, even proposed making a site for it, but it seems most there don't really like the idea

So I kind of gave up.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27860505In principle this could be set up very quickly and would encourage developers to do something for bitcoin.
2) Make bitcoin-qt the official client. From a users perspective it is way ahead of the current official bitcoin client.
3) Register a bitcoin: handler to be handled by the official bitcoin client. This should have been implemented since a few years. I can only guess that the developers haven heard about this new invention: clickable urls in web browsers
bitcoin-qt supports "bitcoin:" URIs when Drag&Dropped to it. I have not implemented browser handlers because I have a bad feeling about javascripts being able to send data to the bitcoin client without user intervention.
Now at least you can make a button "drag this image to your bitcoin client and click send to pay"...
