Q&A Voluntariness vs. Responsibility, which of them should be considered as a priority for the community team?

**tl,dr:** No.

I'm sorry, but this just isn't possible. 

First of all, we all are people with a real life. We all have full-time responsibilities in real life. These responsibilities are unquestionable more important than running a virtual community. For example, I'll have a **major** change in my life in the next weeks and will have to prepare for it.

And still we are coming here (almost) every day to support our communities. We fix urgent issues, when they arise (sometimes even if real life is calling too).

Also, we all spend a lot of stuff &ndash; time, energy and sometimes money (the servers don't pay themselves!) &ndash; into Codidact. Because we believe in the project and want it to be successful. We spend this without any form of "compensation". 

I'm not saying this to complain, just stating the fact that may not be entirely noticeable to everyone. Y'know, I don't really want to get any compensation for this. It's fun. It's rewarding to get to learn new stuff and new amazing people .

***BUT***

We ***CANNOT*** provide the same 24/7 support as a professional provider. It's just not possible. Neither emotionally nor financially.

*Maybe*, in a few years from now, we'll be able to employ a person or two to take care of the software and community full-time. Maybe. I don't even know if we really want that. I don't know if we are ever going to have enough money to do this.

But until then it's just not possible. We'll try to support the awesome communities to the best we can *as volunteers*. But not beyond.
