Unless Google's changed things, the organization gets 500$ for each project. What the Darcs organization does with that, who knows.
Yes, who knows. The Haskell organization didn't give a cent to the mentors, as far as I know. Am I wrong here?
That is correct. The haskell.org mentors decided to spend the money on hosting the haskell.org and community.haskell.org web sites and services, to benefit the whole community rather than just themselves.
Hmm, mentoring a project also benefits the whole community and not just the mentors. So even if mentors take the money, the community wins. Resources are limited. The more limited a resource is, the more painful it is to abandon parts of it. This is also true for my time. If keeping valuable time is better for me than getting a software project done then I chose to keep the time. Best wishes, Wolfgang
