Guilt money?

further more it gets hard for someone to step in and help if they dont have a source to work off of.

I think they would pay anyone working on the project.   But there in-lies the problem.   As the team grows, everyone makes less.

Also, as you point out, people won't be educated on MAME and decide they want to contribute.   Most people who download MAME and start playing with it never intend on contributing.  Once they learn the code and add some features, they're hooked and want to begin to help.

We just draw the line in different places -- I draw the line at "people who do cool stuff and want to get paid" and he draws the line based on "people downstream not getting paid".

I don't think the people downstream shouldn't get paid.   I just don't think the people downstream should be getting paid when the people upstream aren't.

You're right -- I crossed the streams!

C'mon, who really thinks that I am capable of feeling guilt ? 

I'm just a grumpy old man right !
