Hi!
I have read the posts in here. Quite interesting where my initial 
posting has lead to..

Aem.

Personally I don't like this approach. Rene should be paid if he 
contributes code or actually manages the extension. The including of 
patch files shouldn't be paid, as it's a job that can be done by many 
people (unpaid).

Right, I wonder whether you chose the word "we" to say something 
specific. ;) What about a team that takes the DAM development over?
- a team leader
- someone who includes patches (from the developers and from other 
people via bugtracker)
- 2 or 3 developers
- graphic designer for icons, etc


This could be a team with access rights to a SVN, the bugtracker and to 
this mailinglist. Other people could join the team if the team is 
looking for someone and other people could write patchfiles and upload 
them to the bugtracker. That way the development of DAM is safe on one 
hand (because not everyone can get his codes into it) but on the other 
hand they can send patchfiles to the team and so it's somehow open.

What do you think? I mean we are more then 5 people here. If we stop 
talking about how something could be organized in months but start doing 
"something _together_ to improve the situation" (form a team) then I 
guess DAM could become stable in a few months ;) Am I optimistic or what? :)
