That is, has been and always will be the main issue blocking many of the 
various options for revenue generation.

It think that John raises an important point. The experiment has been 
applied and it has shown a clearly the amount of money that can be 
raised from donations alone with the exisiting userbase.

If we as a community want to see ardour the product funding more 
developers to work on it we have to allow for some more flexibility with 
the revenue streams to increase the amount per month that is generated. 
I would like to see it increased to 10k/month as that would allow Paul 
to actually pay the team to get stuff done.

As Paul said, +/-50K is a meagre salary for a professional developer 
with the experience that Paul and the other active members of the 
development team have. It may be a reasonable wage for some people but 
we have to be realistic about what we are receiving and the options that 
are available for Paul if he chose not to continue working on Ardour.
