I think it would cost a lot less than industry standard
consulting rates. There is also the possibility of a group
buy .. several users get together to pay for it.
The Free/open-source software culture is a lot like community
radio. Both would benefit by teaming up, working together, and
taking ideas from each other.
The relevance here .... Community radio is mostly funded by
listener pledges. Maybe we can do something like that here.
Wouldn't it be great if there was enough support that the key
developers could do it full time?
