I remember the bounties. If I understood them correctly, it was like this:

- - people gave funds as a reward for feature X
- - 3rd party people were encouraged to implement feature X and show the
implementation to the core horde group (before Horde LLC existed).
- - Horde Core would decide if the feature was properly implemented and
pay out the reward.

Now people can ask Horde LLC for an estimate/price tag for feature X
and it's their business to provide the funding. Nothing stops a group
of interested parties from asking for an estimate of the project and
then team up by whatever means to allocate the funds needed.
