I believe that even for non-paid people it's cool to have their credits 
in Special:Version at major sites, like Wikimedia ones. It should be a 
worth record in resume / curriculum vitae, providing to developer the 
chance for better paid job. However, the growth and popularity of 
Wikipedia have raised the bar for developing to qualify their code to be 
deployed at major sites, so it's not easy to get your code there.. So, 
many people may get disappointed. But the international competition is 
very strong these days, in every field, not just programming. For 
example, third world countries are improving their education and there 
are many talented people. So, the life is not easy, of course.
