Have a read and let me know what you thing…

“I often see programmers complaining on the forum about unrealistically low bids and insensitive buyer demands. It is difficult to change this behavior while maintaining ScriptLance’s open and easy to use system.

But I do have one idea that programmers might like:

Fair Trade certified projects. Buyers could select this option when posting their project. If after review of their description they are approved (by staff, or a select committee of programmers, or all programmers, that is something to decide on), a special icon will appear next to their project. The Fair Trade icon could attract better programmers, so buyers might be willing to abide by its rules.

Conditions for buyers to receive the status might include not making demands about price and not limiting bids to geographic or racial groups.

What do you think about this idea?”
