Bounty for new features

Why not offer a feature that lets users contribute a nominal amount to a particular feature request, thereby prioritizing demand based on actual need.

So, you could have a list of top 10 most request features, and let people donate towards it, refundable if the feature is not built within a given time period (e.g. 1 month)

I would donate right away to a few features, like the last one I just entered, and the new one that I am about to do.

I would rather suggest that clicky move to uservoice.com - the open and transparent forum and user central. Rackspace cloud do it well.. people can then vote on ideas rather than pay. That way, were not having to fork out and their developers are not pressured to meet sometimes daft demands - serves business and customers well, example
