500 stars and counting!

We now have 500 stars on Github: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/stargazers . That already surpasses some cool (and longer-living) projects. But we can do better, so if you or your friends still didn't star the project, please do .

I wonder if we could make use of something like this

I guess esp. a project like micropython might receive contributions of quite a lot and often very divers fields and a kind of extra payment might help here and there.
E.g., Some people might want to address robotics, others really want to get a certain peripheral up and running, someone else is very keen to get micropython ported to a certain architecture. Non-developers could add their share by providing donations towards a certain feature request. Actually, what we really want would be some kind of a bounty system. XXX$ for a lib to address chip FOO, YYY$ for a port to the board BAR, etc.

And here's another round number - recently, number of commits suprpassed 1000!

That bounty system sounds great! I'd love to try my hand at that. I'm never able to come up with (useful) projects on my own, but I love creating libraries

Github provides more or less extensive stats on the project itself, but here's 3rd-party link to add to it: http://ghtorrent.org/pullreq-perf/micro ... cropython/
