Tinyproj - Week One Recap

I love how this is progressing. One bit of feedback, I would love to see more legitimately "tiny" projects become available-- most of those sent out every week are $500-$2000 and require multiple week commitments. If there's a market for smaller projects or libraries that need work in the $100-$500 range, I would snap up those in my spare time. Obviously those kinds of projects have to exist first to be listed, so not much of a feature suggestion so much as a general desire :)

This has been an interesting issue -- I want to encourage small stuff like that (perhaps a quick icon/UX analysis or whatever) that's only a few hours of work. Though, I found when I had the min. budget at $100, I got a -lot- of low quality stuff. Setting the min to $500 has staved that off somewhat.

I'm sure you will find no shortage of $100-$500 projects on sites like odesk. There's a threshold at which it seems to not be worth the time though.

Many of those projects are poorly defined and ask too much work for the payment. The OP is asking for projects at a lower cost and lower time commitment, not devalued work.

Hrm, what languages are you open to doing library work for? Any further constraints (e.g. only OSS, etc.)?
