 I agree with Boris about many things. 

 First, if possible you should try to find a way to not split any communities
 in development. Focus on supporting the communities that exist as 
 far as that is possible.

 Secondly, the process of doing business is about three things:
 creating value, finding revenue from that value and building a 
 relationship with the audience that appreciates that value. 

 It is worth taking the time to find how to create value in both
 the community work on the drupal sites and creating value for your
 customers. They are not the same types of work, but they 
 complement each other.
