The things that strikes me about this is: what do Wesnoth as a project gain? People work on stuff that is fun anyway, for free. The only thing money can be an incentive for that the multitude of other reasons to participate in a floss projects usually don't encourage are those very difficult and tedious tasks that tend to pile up that no one wants to touch. I would much rather we define those tasks and try to get some talented people paid to get them done. thanks, Hogne _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
