[Trisquel-users] Trisquel project goals and finances

[trisquel]

I'm fairly new to Trisquel, and am considering getting more involved, but  
have some questions about the project.

I've seen that there's a goal to have the funds to allow the core developer/s  
to be employed fulltime on Trisquel.

Currently there are ~100 associate members. I don't know what the average  
monthly membership donation is, but assuming €10, that's €1000 per month.  
That's quite a good income, although nowhere near enough to hire skilled  
developers fulltime.

So, some questions:
1) What is the monthly income currently spent on? The donate page mentions  
"development and web servers". What is the current breakdown? How are the  
decisions on what to spend made?
2) What is the target monthly income in order to hire developer/s fulltime?  
Having a clear goal and target makes achieving it more viable. So if it's,  
say, 1000 members, it can be a goal for the project to work towards, just as  
the 100 members was.
