The fact that I am subscribed to the Linux-IL mailing list does not
automatically imply that I am advocate of open source and free code. And
the fact that I advocate of open source and free code does not
automatically imply that I (or any other self-respecting programmer) would
agree to work for someone else at the rates offered by Nimrod. I would
rather work half time for full rate and work on my own pet open source
project the other half of time.

Get off my ass for Nimrod and to do things his way for only $15/hour? No,
thanks.

I sound like someone who makes a living from programming and expects to
get paid for whatever work he is doing for payment.

My advice to Nimrod: form a consortium of companies, who need the same
improvements for Zope, and have each company pay the developer a share of
the developer's fee. Given hourly rate of $60/hour (for a good
programmer) and consortium of 5 interested companies, the cost for each
company will be only $12/hour, and I am sure Nimrod would be happy with
this kind of expense. Nimrod would also gain the good reputation of
having organized a consortium of sponsors for Zope improvements.

There is no IGLU Cabal. There is no consortium of sponsors either.
