The problem with volunteer 're-factoring' work, is that although people mean
well when they offer their assistance, it doesn't usually work out... They'll
often spend a couple of weeks working on the task, get bored, figure they'll
take a break and come back to it later, and it never gets completed.
Offering financial renumeration means that the work is more likely to be
completed, because there's a tangible pay off after it's finished.
Sorry to by cynical, but that's my experience of things; and yes i've been on
both sides.
