Still not sure. They weren't going to before, but now we might have leverage to get it as a paid position. It's harder for a partially public funded organization to budget for a hire like this than it is for the archives, for instance.
Just to make one thing clear. Benoît isn't "hired" as such by Versailles. His position falls within the scope of his studies and is treated as an internship. Internships are highly regulated in France, and warrant for a minimum subsidy from the participating company/institution. Wikimedia France is adding to the mix by subsidizing his accommodation for the duration of the stay.
Needless to say, internships are not very higly paid "jobs" ;)
