'''[[MediaWiki developer]] payment''' has been proposed by [[Erik Moeller]][http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Developer_payment and resisted by some others]. It is not clear whether such payments are reasonable or whether they create or enhance [[Wikimedia corruption]]. It probably depends on whose "requirements" are implemented, and whether other software like [[MoinMoin]] or [[tikiwiki]] already did the same things for free. It is not reasonable to use donations "to create and manage an encyclopedia" to give [[sysop power structure]] more power over [[trolls]], for instance, which has nothing to do with creating or managing encyclopedias, but only ensuring one group "controls". Should [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] sanction such payments? If so, for what types of requirements, and how would they be agreed to, and how would it be clear to donors or participants that they were paying software developers?
