Hi,

Being new here, I was wondering if I can get a quick explanation of the Bounty and how it works?

Thanks

I believe the bounty is something that has money that is paid to the person who ports and/or improves a driver or program for OS /2 and/or eCS. People donate money to a particular bounty to encourage others to try to port and/or improve a driver or program for OS/2 and/or eCS. I hope this helps. There are probably others with a more definitive answer to your question.  8)

I believe you will get an idea here (click on attached link and scroll down) as to the "List of Bounties".

Does the money go to the bounty hunter or an OS/2 organization?

The money goes to whoever completes the bounty to the satisfaction of the people who posted the bounty. For example, whoever compiles TerraIM under OS/2 to my satisfaction will get the 35$ I have sponsored the bounty with.

Similarly to the above quoted... an additional negotiated and "bank financed" sum will be agreed and made payable to the company or individual committing to complete:
