I don't understand why one groups needs to be paid *first*, precluding
expenditures for others. Even if one agrees with your assertion that
developers should be monetarily compensated, that does not mean the
board should work in poverty.
It's quite short sighted if one cannot see that Ang/Ant/Jimbo putting
their heads together would do well for our fundraising which will in
turn raise more funds for the entire project.

PS: And you've certainly entered "rude" territory by belittling Ant
and Ang's extensive contributions to Wikipedia so flippantly.

If we are to use our energy, our time and now even our personal
money on this project, I think we can expect perhaps a little bit
of politness, recognition and appreciation for the work we do.

I did not say it had no possible justification, merely that paying
developers ought to be a higher priority. The developers have spent a
lot more of their energy, time, and personal money on the project, over
the course of several *years*. Beginning to reimburse board members who
have hardly served for a *week* does not seem even remotely in the same
range.
