Woah, woah, woah. I want to call a time out here for a few pages.

I'm not trying to be the Grinch here, but I STRONGLY think we've got to get a better handle on this whole process before we just start handing out NXT left and right to ANYBODY.

I agree.... with everything rickyjames is saying. Somehow we went from "please apply for the committees" to "these are the committees" to "funds will be disbursed" in less than 36 hours.

Posting twice in this thread and once in forums.nxtcrypto.org does not constitute allowing an adequate response from the community. This rush to disburse funds for things based on minimal information and (more importantly) a SHORT timeframe is not sustainable.

I also sort of thought there was gonna be some kind of vetting of people putting their names down for committees, where they would have to put in at least one post describing why they thought they were qualified to serve on a committee, what they wanted to accomplish there, blah blah blah, and um....we might actually VOTE IN A POLL to pick the top 5?

Instead it's just put your name down as a candidate and you're in? On as many committees as you want?

Yeah. I've been busy on contract work this week (and will be until April 1) so I'm not able to keep up as much as I'd like. There are lots of smart, competent folks like me who should be involved in these decisions but can't because they, you know, have jobs. We seem to be rushing to do things QUICKLY, instead of PROPERLY.

Also, we need to be clear that all projects need to be open source to be considered for a bounty. If the Dev decides to take the Nxt and go, the community can take over the project.
