If anything, it's unreasonably *low*. That's a fourth of the fair market wage for a contractor with those qualifications in the United States (and before someone points out that one could hire someone for a lower wage in a different market, please look at what country dunc-tank has funds in and look at what the feasibility would be of moving them between national jurisdictions; that sort of thing is frequently extremely complex). To compare to other free software projects, the value cited is comparable to what the FSF was offering for *salary* (which is generally lower than contractor pay due to benefit issues and social security taxes) for a sysadmin, which is a less skilled position. In other words, just as originally said, it's a wage that some people will think is way too low and some people will think is way too high. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
