Jonathan: That is partly the point of 'instance mode'. You can install the gem system-wide, and only check out the minimum of files when you need a new site. Extensions currently have to be installed in every instance you create, however.
Back On-Topic: I do Rails development full-time for a San Francisco-based startup (even though I live in KC). I came to Radiant first for personal use, then for a website redesign at my last job. It was at that job that I got involved in the mental branch and developing extensions because we needed slightly more than a static site. So for a while, I was paid salary to work on Radiant, which was cool. In the process, I came up with 4-6 patches that John accepted and then he asked me to join the core team. Since being on the core team I have gotten requests for Radiant-based projects coming in. That's not to say you need to be on the core team to get projects; what I would suggest is this: Work hard on a personal or pro-bono project if you can't get a paid one. Get intimate with the Radiant source. Develop extensions. Find bugs, submit patches that fix them. Contribute to the mailing list, IRC channel, and development wiki. Suggest Radiant to clients whose needs match its strengths. Be passionate about what you do.
