Should I?
If I add extra contributor rewards for the $100 level for an hour of ‘pick my brain’/consulting from any of the participating WordPress types, that would be kind of cool, because then I could tally up how much $ came in via those guys, and I could give them the appropriate cumulative reward (vs a contributor getting the care package, shirt, mug, etc and the generous consultant not being recognized). Anyone who wanted to limit the number of people who could redeem the offer could specify how many to limit it to and be listed individually – if there are only a couple, then might as well list everyone individually for easier tracking.
So does this sound like a good idea? Anyone else want to contribute by way of donating an hour of consulting time?
P.S. You can back the Jitterbug on Kickstarter.
Jen (aka Jane) on WordPress 
I would do a $100 donation for a plugin code review (if free, GPL, and hosted on WordPress.org).
Awesome, thanks!
Limit on number of people who can choose it, or anyone who wants to?
I imagine I can do at least a half dozen hour-long reviews over the next week or two, but if the demand is higher, I’m happy to oblige as my time permits.
Technically, Kickstarter says no rewards until campaign ends, in case it doesn’t succeed and they don’t wind up getting charged, so there’s no timing rush on delivering the reward. By sometime in March/April would be the expectation. 🙂
Ah, of course. Can’t wait to visit Jitterbug — no limit. 🙂
I’d be interested in helping out here.
Yay, thanks! Any specific topic or general? Limit number of people who can claim, or as many as want to?
I can do 6-8 and I’m pretty flexible; general consulting, coding help, etc.
As I already tweeted – I’m in. Can do theme review or some general support too.
Thanks so much!
Count me in for a half dozen in March. Can do WP training, site reviews, install/upgrades or just an hour if ‘pick my brain on WP’ type stuffs.
Yay, thanks!
Just another reason to visit Tybee 🙂
Count me in for a half dozen too. I can do training and general brain pickings.
Good luck getting this going!
Righteous, thanks!
Count me in for 6-8 consults on plugin development, custom post types, custom taxonomies, or even quick/simple plugin development
Likewise, happy to help. This is a brilliant idea.
This is an awesome idea. I think we’ll see more of this in the future.
I’m definitely in with 6-8 hours. As a plus, I can do the consults on spanish, if someone requires that.
I’d be happy to do about six or so, perhaps admin UI and related code review for plugins/themes/etc.? 🙂
I’m in for general WordPress training, plugin/theme help, Shopp consultation, general troubleshooting. I’ll commit to one session/day for 30 days with a loose limit.
Would be happy to do a few. 🙂 Plugin dev, content integration stuff.

Happy to back the Jitterbug, and I’ll also offer myself up for a few (five or six? I’m flexible) theme-related consulting hours (also happy to include any general HTML/CSS/SASS topics in that).
