Hasn't this experiment already been tried? It looks like

	http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2653

contains a list of enhancements with bounties in the range of $100 to 
$1000. AFAIK, none of these have ever been claimed, and I'd also be 
curious to better understand why people "sign up" for these bounties (if 
they do sign up at all - I wonder how many of these bounties just go to 
people who happen to work on the problem anyway).
