From the semi-off-topic, FWIW category:
A poll was created on debianHELP.org http://www.debianhelp.org/node/2571 asking, "Should Debian be strictly all-volunteer or should it pay developers?" Feel free to select from the choices of * Strictly all volunteer. * There's nothing wrong with paying Debian developers. * Payments should be rare and only for a short duration. * One developer should not be paid unless all are paid. and/or to check the results or to add your $0.02 worth as comments.
