Consider looking up the developers who most recently worked on
the projects of interest; if they're not available, perhaps they
can recommend someone.

Unless you have a fairy godparent, expect to pay standard
commercial rates based on the task and the qualifications of the
programmer.
Well that's just it... No way we could afford full rates, If we could
we would hire someone off the street to program x, y, and z to are
liking. I was talking about supporting someone who is already working
on x, y, and z because they have an itch to scratch... To help them
scratch that itch faster... What kind of funding would this type of
person need?
