I'm a bit undetermined of this request. It always gets complicated when
money is used for work that has been (or can be) done on a volunteer basis.
Peter is right, we need to be careful to create precedence cases that we
cannot satisfy. On the other hand, we run many bounties, offering money
for newcomers (like the Internship Programme or the Documentation
Bounty), while other long-term contributors are without compensation for
their work except travel fundings, and are even required to cover part
of their costs on their own.
I know quite a lot people working on the websites, having improved the
website several times in their free time, redesigned it twices in the DE
project, and never received a single cent. When they see that money is
spent for other projects, this might cause some problems.
I'm a bit in fear of people requesting more and more money and not
working voluntarily anymore, thus I'm generally sceptical to these requests.
On the other hand, I see that for some cases there might be a need.
That said, I'm still a bit undetermined. Sorry for being so annoying
here, but can you elaborate a bit on what exactly has been done? The
amount of 1.000 € sounds quite high to me, so I would love to hear what
exactly has been done and how much time it took approximately.
