Would a task board make sense as a way to organise bounties aswell as allow people to bid on those?

Users will be able to post tasks they can do, and others can purchase those services. Also users can post their requests, and other users can bid on the requests. Essentially you can have your a site where people can buy and sell services or jobs or tasks. Ofcourse devcoin would be posting requests and people would bid to do work, this would help find optimal share allocation for projects!

Other people can start asking for work in devcoins then too using this thing since once it grows there would be a network of developers / writers etc who would be watching requests and as a poster I want my work done as cheap as possible without sacrificing quality.

I am going to move forward how I planned and then we can discuss changes to it once it is seen, I am not going to speculate any longer before starting as too many people have too many different ideas and nothing is getting done. I like the idea of a task tracker and may incorporate that, but for now I'm just going to move forward with my vision and see what comments come. You can see progress by following the prototype link in my sig.

Reason I say that is I purchased the wordpress templates and I have full source distributable under gpl.. One is a task board and it looks pretty nice with all the features I described. The link is here:

We have the source so we can change it
but since its wordpress its really simple for a non developer to make changes its all cms based and with a nice backend interface.. ootb seems to do everything we need? Check it out.. I will get it
hosted if someone can give me permission to host it on their server along with the penny auction one I want to show..

The ease of use is really something with wordpress.

Go for it, WP is great, I use it all the time for blogs, not for other things though, I like more control over my other projects. See how it turns out and we will see what comes of it. Again, I am continuing on with the bounties portion of my prototype site

I am interested to see your WP implementation though!

Thanks Ijust need a place to host it.. need to install the usualy mysql and apache etc.. wordpress is the php engine and is free to download too so its pretty sweet.

I think youll like it.. What nova said about devs undercutting each other is also prob right and we could disable bidding on projects for now until maybe one day we would want to use it.

It would provide a way for:
1) Devcoin to post a bounty
2) Someome to accept that bounty and have it show to the world that a person is working on it(doesnt stop someone else from doing it) just allows us to track whos workimg on what.
3) Allows others to post what they can offer im exchange for coins.. letting people buy those services.

I went to your prototype link.. all i see is some round information and graphs?
