It's just a matter of perspective. Things that make no sense to you make a perfect sense to others, and vice versa. > Why not pay them for their hard work? why we don't pay for developers to work > in open source like GIMP as if it was a job?. Gimp is an will always be free but > Why we not as users pay to have developers work on this proyect? Again, a matter of perspective. Also, a matter of background. Not every team is ready to do the paperwork, the coordination work etc. Not every team thinks that having community as a boss is a great idea. Not every team has developers available for full-time work. Some developers go as far as refusing to accept donations altogether. > I think one day we as fans of gimp should have this option. To pay developers to > work fro GIMP The future will show :) Personally, I agree with you on quite a few pointa. But at the same time I respect the team's view that centralized paid work is not a good idea at this time.
