It is not really "almost", and I am not easily interchangeable as there are some things I am pretty good at, and some things I am pretty bad at. So if there was enough money to go around, I'd recommend not getting another David for it but rather looking for someone with a different skill (and deficiency) set. > What we --hopefully very soon-- need to solve, is what happens when > David receives more money, monthly, than he `needs' to truly commit > himself. Let's worry about that when the situation arises. I don't see that happening without finding a fundamentally different source of financing. With the current model I don't see cost/benefit distributed in a really satisfactory way. > It would be a pity if donations would then drop again to a `must only > barely sustain David' level; much rather I would like to a way to keep > donations/funds increasing and get another developer on board. Well, "cannot even barely sustain two developers" does not sound like a huge step forward in sustainability. So one step after the other. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
