This is not correct - extensions by volunteers are deployed. To cite just two notable examples, Cite and CategoryTree. AFAIK, neither Ævar nor Daniel are or were paid by the WMF; Daniel works at WM-DE, but that's a separate organization. That said, better documentation about the Foundation's process for deciding what is deployed would be quite useful. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
