[OSM-dev] X-Prizes

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

> are there examples of where this has happened in other projects?

None that I know of. There's some discourse about this online, good
starting point is 

http://tieguy.org/blog/2006/06/18/crowding-out-of-intrinsic-motivations-aka-the-bounty-problem/

but it's all rather inconclusive and builds heavily on non-IT
examples.

We could make history by trying this out on a grand scale ;-)

Bye
Frederik
