I think the pledge system is really honor-based, in that Id promise to donate a set amount if a feature I liked was added. Then once the feature becomes available I would go ahead and donate.
Alternatively you could let people make pledges, and then once you've decided its a feature you are able to develop, you send an automated mailshot asking them to fulfill their pledge. It gets a bit complicated at this point though. What if only 3 of the 20 people who pledged actually follow through.
I dont know, the honor system is clearly open to abuse, and maybe its not that workable for Calibre. I do think it might be worth exploring though
But my pledge still stands, and Id be happy to donate for it upfront.
