</div>Well, what I'd actually like to become is a professional (i.e. paid)<br>
contrib. maintainer. I really enjoy it, but I do have to worry about a roof<br>
over my head and food in my stomach. If there was some way to fund people<br>
to do this, I think everyone would benefit. Those people could concentrate<br>
on those modules that are most used (assuming our stats are close to<br>
correct) and could be educated early in a release cycle so that those<br>
popular modules follow new Drupal releases closely. That still leaves<br>
plenty of modules for those who like to tinker. And, of course, I'd like to<br>
see some basic funding for the core maintainers as well.<br>
<br>
So how do we raise this money?<br>
