BountySource is back... again

[dnawrkshp]

I received an email today from [email protected] stating that BountySource is back up with some new features. They are 'handing' out $5 to the first 250 people that get on board (or return, not entirely sure); although, at the time of writing, it seems that almost 8,000 individuals have already signed up for BountySource Beta.

I decided to check if they had remove all the old projects from their database and it seems that they will. At least, I assume, they will rid the ones that aren't updated to the new Beta. "NOTE: This version of BountySource will soon be removed. Please use the new version at www.bountysource.com. Thanks!".

Email: "Relaunching BountySource, the funding platform for open-source software!"

BountySource is back! We're relaunching and I want to give you a sneak peek. We now support projects on GitHub and we'll soon be adding support for Google Code, SourceForge, Bugzilla, Trac, etc.

We now have two main features:

    1. Bounties let users show support for features they want added to any project they use.
    2. Fundraisers let developers describe a future project or feature and set a financial goal.

We're offering a $5 "Welcome Back" credit to the first 250 people that come back. Just sign in at www.bountysource.com!

Also, we love feedback so please email the team or chat with us in #bountysource on Freenode IRC.

Thanks!

Cool. I always liked BountySource...hopefully this time, Warren and friends will take a greater interest in actively managing it.
