Johan observed that most of the talk was about "sustained funding" (where the goal is having full time developers) vs. "beer money" (where the money helps subsidize some of the time developers invest). He's a little leery of getting into the former type of funding.
With great care. A project needs a much larger pool of money with a more stable source of income in order to have full time employees. But just ask Bradley at our friendly parent org, having full time people helps have consistency and acts are a skeleton. I've noticed 501c organisations focus their full time staff on contribution support tasks first and it's not a bad idea to think about those tasks.
