Hello, I recall the not-so-welcomed initiative from 2006 to have some full-timers employed to speed up the release process. Since I am running only sid anyway, I was not really interested in that, particularly not at the time.
Now I think that we could make some good use of some full-timers. And I would understand them rather as a "helping hand" were helping hands are needed, i.e. a service to DDs rather, than as a direct service to our users who wait for a DVD. Well, if is always the users that will profit from our work in the end. The two scenarios that motivated me to write this email: * the web-pages team might possibly need more helping hands to implement what they want to implement and/or to coordinate the translations etc .. so they could get some more graphical skills in or .. they would need to know ... * the ftpmasters who take care for the new queue might know some other DD they would like buy time from, or they would like to take a Debian-paid (partial?) sabbatical from their very own daytime job. I truly think that more man power in the infrastructure bits would help us a lot in preparing our distribution. If money helps, and if we have the money, then we should use it.
