LOL. That's like saying all code is self-documenting. I think the bare-minimum is writing things down.
No, you've just been told where you can RTFM the full details (yes in this case it's a video) and you responded with "that's beneath me". Maybe next time you try to take an active part in the actual conversation instead of backseat-moderating things after the fact. </rant>
What we've discussed in the meeting is not perfect and I think everyone knows that. You're also not the only one with concerns about the (mid/longterm) effects of money vs voluntary engagement. However, we are in a constant stalemate and want to break out of it. We're not a bank, our donators expect us to do something with the money they give us. We want to try something new.
To be absolutely clear: it's not the goal to turn Inkscape into a free-for-all-come-have-some-money type of thing. The project identifies areas where we want to push foward and where no volunteers are stepping up to do the job. If you think we're taking on more than we should in a first step, let's discuss that. IMHO we should be able to find consensus on at least one single thing where we try to throw a little money at. And it should not be something easily agreeable like Outreachy but something hard where we can gather valuable experience from, like something e.g. documentation or development related. We’re not setting anything in stone here.
It is important that we argue about these things. It probably doesn't translate well for what I want to express, but "arguing" is meant in a positive way, as in "the best solution doesn't just present itself by itself, we have to work for it". So please, be there the next time.

we should have justification for our numbers.
Please see the video for full details and the follow up meeting for the more constructed details.
