Hey, that's not really a cultural difference here. If you really already know for sure some people won't never ever get paid, how could they feel otherwise? And I'm curious, which "kind" of developer will never get paid? > * Deciding what to pay (and hence who to pay) and how much to pay is > a very difficult task.

IMHO the answer is simple: do not let a subpart of Debian try to fund another subpart of it, and let third party contractors do that if they want. Or do not pay people, but events or devcamps for teams that have very important task to achieve and that can benefit from such camps. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
