We discussed this in the past and the conclusion was that we don't want to accept money for specific features and that we consider bounties a bad idea. I am willing to pick up this discussion again but I can tell you that I haven't changed my mind on this and strongly oppose this idea. IMO it is much better if we continue to decide what's important and what is being worked on. And if this coding happens for fun and not for money. As a motivation for contributors we can use the donations money to fund meetings and maybe also hardware. But I don't think that money should be bound to specific features. So my take on this is a strong "no". And that's without even considering the huge administrative work and the legal problems that are involved.
