That is very different from claiming that we are making changes _primarily_because_ we want to create jobs for people. The existence of paid positions is a consequence of wanting to provide better service. What you are saying is analogous to this: - If a company is thinking of expanding, and - This will increase the number of pencils in use, so - They will need to hire someone specifically to sharpen pencils, then - We see alarming signs that the company is expanding explicitly to create a pencil-sharpening job! P.S.: As I see things, the paid admins will all have to work at a single physical office. The geographical diversity of the current set of volunteers, not to mention our diverse career aspirations, in fact make it very _unlikely_ that _any_ of us will ever be paid. _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
