You know, in a lot of posts it's made to seem as if Illarion's staff are backed up over their heads in current projects, proposals for the future, and bug cracking. Maybe you (or other people in the know) should post a thread requesting volunteers with the skills you need.
I bet if you made it clear just
what kind of talent you're looking for someone in the community would step forward to fill the gap. I mean, there are people here from all over the world, making our community a vast pool of experience, there's bound to be
someone for at least a few of the jobs that desperately need attention.
I may be completely wrong about Illarion's staff being backed up, but surely there are a few positions (besides the one mentioned above

) that could use a little backing from the community.
It's not as if you lose anything by admitting to need help in certain areas and asking for volunteers to bridge the gaps. ^_^
