It looks to me a bit overkill for us, at least at the time. Only to me?
Regarding this Salt looks pretty easy to administrate, do you have any other suggestion?
I can do the job but I'd like to surround myself by trusted and selected/elected people.
@stephdl with boutysource and donations we could address thess goals suggested by you:
well known developer can be paid to develop a specific module for a company
a company can sponsor the cost involved to your creation (hardware, server, beers)
the developer may ask about donations to users, like remi collet does
What do you think to start to raising funds for it creating a bounty? I'm interested in this. When you have raised enough money you can start to develop it, having your expenses covered. I'm very curious to hear your opinion.
