It is a delicate process to decide what problems are really worth solving. Throwing money into the process when that money isn't backed by business needs is IMO counterproductive. If Google was using ZeroMQ and contributing patches, that would be awesome. Would they however pay *students* to make patches to code they were using in production? Ahem... And if not, why is paying students to make patches to code *other* people use in production OK? You can take our C4 contribution process and match it against paying-students-to-code-for-cash events and see the disharmony. C4 was born from trench warfare rather than ideology. That's my view based on current data. i'm not married to it and more than happy to be proven wrong. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
