Bounty hunting

Bounty hunting is a way of having fun and earning money while working on a Free Software project.

This initiative provides a number of tasks we would like to get done in the future releases. Each task has an associated prize. If you implement any of them, you will earn the bounty. Isn't it a wonderful way to have fun and earn money at the same time?

This is an initiative we are going to keep running on the Cherokee project. As long as your contributions help to improve the project quality and its diffusion, we will try to pay you back!

Be tuned, we will keep publishing new bounties.

Task list

Task	Description	Bounty	Funder
FastCGI support	There is work in progress to support FastCGI on Cherokee. With this task we want to ensure that Cherokee has excelent FastCGI support as soon as possible. It has to support: Unix sockets and TCP sockets Spawning new servers Round Robin between servers Some QA tests to ensure it works	$ 700 USD	DynDNS
Traffic Shaping	We want Cherokee to be able to manage the server traffic based on some rules. This task requires the implementation of a subsystem with the following abilities: Set the max download speed by connection Set the max throughput of a virtual server Set the max throughput of the whole server	$ 500 USD	DynDNS
Define it!	The best bounty hunting task of all! Think of a cool feature we would love to add to Cherokee, propose it on the mail list, and if it makes sense for us, we will make a new task entry with your proposal. We have money waiting for it!	up to you	DynDNS

Take a look at the task list
Take a look at the Contributing section, you will have to follow the rules described on it in order to contribute your patches.
If there are any on which you would like to work, it would be interesting to hear from you on the mail list in order to let people know that you are interested.
When you compleate your patch, send it to the mail list. The patch will be publicaly reviewed, and we will check it there. At this point, if your patch is accepted, the funding company will send you the bounty money. If there was something wrong with the patch you will need to fix it and send it again.
Enjoy Cherokee.. and your bunch of money! :-)
