The basic idea of voting is good, but you have to asure that everybody can 
vote only once (register, cookie, ...).
But I don't like the idea to let people pay for a feature:
- to be honest, nobody will pay for it
- if a company really needs a feature _and_ wants to use Opensource they can 
give the job to anyone that works in the company
- who will get the money? who will implement it?
- do you really want to work on a feature of an Opensource-software because 
you get payed and not because you want it?

Regards,

Carsten
