Unsung heroes....

The idea is nice, but many years ago Genesis elected to stay (wisely, I believe) on the path of pure volunteerism on the part of wizards. We don't do this for money, but because we care and are invested for our own love of the game. Paying us to code is not a path we will be following.

Every so often genesis has a "funding drive" and they gove out these cool toroid brooches for people who donate.
maybe you can get a paypal riged up (if you dont already have one)for people who wish to donate and earn or upgrade thier brooch. Some people like to feel they are contributing in the game they love.

Yes, this is definitely something we could do. We have funds saved up from previous donation campaigns, which sit and wait for a need (new hardware, promotional expenses, etc.) But that need will never be wizard salaries.

Gorboth -- I posted an idea in game.. but figure I would post it here too.

What about doing some kind of project with a programming class professor where its part of their class project? or an internship?
I'm sure some people would love to have that kind of volunteering or projects on their resume.

Or is Genesis Code not "current" enough in todays age to be relevant to students?

Oh, it would be a lovely idea. What it would require, though, is a lot of RL time invested with that RL professor to help them teach such a class. It would also require knowing such a professor.

hmm.. let me do some long term research
