Or for the next time, if our project becomes rich (in resources) then other sponsor may pay for that. And, please think in a different way. There are 100NLs (may not exact). How many are actively maintaining their the top pages? Do you know for example, how many release candidates are marked as "released"? http://blog.livedoor.jp/maho_nakata/archives/51348609.html apparently far from 100. I'm believe funding really motivate, encourage, other NLs as well. Of course, if some NL has many resources, then they should do by themselves. But in our case, resource is really thin. Chances are equal to everyone. I guess such concern may also applies for other activities related NLs.
