[Drummond Reed]

Scott,

I second your motion to cut the three checks and then close the program.

> TwikiWiki: http://twiki.org/
> Joomla: http://joomla.org

> Originally we were paying out the bounties on a pay-as-you-go basis.

> life of the program).

> In the interest of getting a definitive answer for the projects that
> are asking, I'm going to make a motion:
> 
> The OIDF will pay out $5000 open source code bounties to Dokeos,
> TwikiWiki and Joomla and do the associated PR/blog post to close out
