Restoring the edit that allowed this post to not be deleted. See staff answers at https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278310.
  • Since the other answers did not address your concern perfectly and correctly, I post my answer to your question.
  • Yes, you are right. If we want to have a **successful** community, then its community managers (team) should work as paid staff do. There is a (somewhat harsh to some people) fact stating:
  • **If you want to have a successful project, you need to consider it as your first priority.**
  • For example, if a mathematician want to solve an open problem, they should not view it as a secondary goal and spend their *free* time and energy on the problem. In real life, **no** successful project you can find that has been achieved by viewing it as a *secondary priority*, *hobby*, or ... .
  • ---
  • However, there are some points in other answers which need to be responded:
  • - The OP has never expected from the Codidact volunteers to work as paid staff. They said
  • > In my opinion, **if** Codidact is an **aspiring** platform, one may expect that they work as paid staff do.
  • They did not mean that the Codidact volunteers should prioritize their volunteering over their work. They only meant that if we want the community to be successful, its community team should consider it as their first priority; I agree with this opinion as I explained above. But, if Codidact is just a hobby, then the community team can continue their way because it is right for such a goal.
  • - It seems that most (all) community staff believe that Codidact is not their first priorities and they are too busy in their *real* lives so that they can only spend some part of their free time on Codidact. I understand them. However, why do they insist on continuing their staff role while they are too busy? They want to help Codidact to become successful; they can do it by contributing to meta and main sites as regular users, and since Codidact is open-source, the volunteer developers can improve its codes in their free time. Those people who are the main leaders or owners of Codidact can be appointed as Codidact chairmen. There are many idles to manage Codidact for free.
