The steering council is interested in hearing from *core developers* about their thoughts around the idea of hiring people to help with the project. The thinking is if we can pay people to help/assist with the aspects of development that us volunteers do not enjoy doing or simply lack the time. This is so we can help maximize our impact as a team of volunteers and improve Python the best we can. We are also gathering info from folks about what they (dis)like about the development process at the same time.
The survey can be found at https://forms.gle/p1F9utFiG3PJemaN7. We are currently restricting this to *only core developers* and one response per core dev. We would love responses sooner rather than later so we can analyze the responses in time for PyCon US. Please aim to respond by Feb 15.
