Bounty Program trial starts today | ENDED

Update: I am pausing the bounty trial for the time being

During this trial, the following three bounties were resolved:

• Flawless Android mouse support by @joliver82
• Full glTF Draco support, including a lot of upstream debugging work and patching(!!), by @Marco13
• Ogre format deprecation and conversion of all example models to j3o by Dev_Conceited

The reason I am pausing this is that some vibe coders, or possibly robots, keep trying to work around our requirements. And reviewing and testing fully or partially vibe-coded, untested PRs does not make much sense, since at that point we might as well pay for the tokens ourselves.

To be clear, neither of the PRs mentioned above falls into that category. They were actually very good PRs.

I will need to think about this more carefully, and I may reopen the bounty program later in a different form, possibly gated to our community. Even if that would lose part of the original purpose, since the program was also meant to help promote the engine, but it may be necessary to keep the quality bar high.
