Being hired as TDF staff is not equal to becoming a government official or a tenured professor. It is not a position protected for life.

To be more specific, my concern is the possiblity of turning contributors away.

Besides the situation aforementioned, I would not have become a contributor, if someone had fixed CJK issues for me 8 years ago.

Such a negative outcome can be avoided by using the same approach as with the other areas that receive contributions from TDF staff. The key is communicating that we need collaborators and will train new volunteers.
