i wouldn't like a solution like this, because it'll create the rift between payed hackers and communitary development we discussed and feared about a long time ago... with a project that's more of a product, made for professionals for the needs of their costumers, and a pet project developed by and for the community that has bugs no one wants to fix. i **insist** in that if we want to accept money and start covering hardware expenses, developer expenses, and then life expenses, we need to do it as a community and in transparent way. having to create a side project with funding and dedicated people is not the way to do it :) there's people involving a lot of their time in parabola development, and after a while it isn't fun anymore (i did it myself!). i'd be happy to see them make a few bucks for that, but those bucks should be assigned by the community if this project is going to be democratic and fun in the future. having said this, i don't think anyone here is acting or going to act in bad faith, and i've seen emulatorman help a lot of new hackers even though he's also pushing for people to be paid and doing most of the packaging. this is a community project but sometimes it feels like one committed person pulls most of the weight, so please don't forget that ;) -- http://endefensadelsl.org
