The problem is, this puts a requirement on being part of the project first
(and even more,
"long time and trusted" as you say). It should not be the case. Running
Haiku, Inc. is not
at all the same kind of work as contributing code to Haiku, so being part of
the Haiku
project should not be a requirement to help with the tasks at Haiku, Inc.
That is true, and depending on the task we probably could ask for more
help. But we also have the issue that we are primarily virtual.
Anything related to admin access to our servers, or things related to
money, cannot be trusted to just anyone. It takes time to get to know
and trust people online. It just happens that because we are a
technical project, most of the people we get to know and trust are
developers.
I also work with another non-profit locally, and things just feel a
bit different when you can meet people face-to-face.
We aren't a big non-profit, and maybe we have been overly suspicious
or protective, but the one time we trust the wrong person could result
in a major server compromise, or our PayPal and bank account being
drained dry. That wouldn't make anyone rich, but it would seriously
damage the project.
I'm not sure what is the best way to do this. Maybe have a list of tasks
people could
help with - starting with the ones that don't need access to sensitive
personal data?
Yeah that would be a good start.
