• wait for any DomainDeveloper to confirm that this is a non-trivial fix

• a domain developer can also propose a higher payment of 33, 100, 200 or 500 € according to the difficulty of the bug fix.

Terms & Conditions

• Your bug fix has to be integrated into the development code line, either via cws or via patch gateway of an established contributor

• You must have a PayPal account to receive any payment

• Once your work for a BugFix has been completed, the bugbounty_review@openoffice.org has to be notified for further processing.
