It is one of our mailing lists:
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-announce

I don't know who reads it - well I do.

Actually, I didn't want to misrepresent anything, but your right.
When I think about the whole issue: it is more complicated.
It is not only the matter of letting a young talented programmer
help us instead of flip burgers.

Offering money for work that is usually done for free and offering
so little money for someone who would earn a multitude, if he would be
a bit older - two confusing issues.
Breaks with good old tradition.  Will very probably affront some.

On the other hand:
We really need the workforce and those six month should be enough
to produce the long awaited glob2-1.0.

True, that's an important difference!

Always the optimist ...

Another point:
I guess we have to look whether this counts as illicit work.
