We clearly have a lot of people who are excited to work on Wesnoth for free already.
The idea is that if you are someone who is working on Wesnoth for free, and doing a great job, but can only work on Wesnoth part time because you have to get a job, we want enable you to work on Wesnoth full time by paying you the equivalent of what your job would pay you. What Wesnoth gains from this is that someone who was previously only working on Wesnoth part time -- and doing a great job of it -- now gets to work on Wesnoth full time. The productivity gain from being able to put so much focus on a project you love is large. THAT is the point of the grants programme, and what we want to accomplish.
