A situation directly analogous to OSM. I was a Scout for about a decade before I found myself on payroll. Not to say I didn't make mistakes as an employee (I was 14), but I found myself on payroll because I rose to that level, not because some third party decided I should start scattergun efforts. Anybody paid to contribute to OSM *must* be capable of setting the example, as far as I'm concerned.
