By all means tell artists its not for profit\free (be up front about the goal - you might catch a break) but understand that they have to make a living.DoTreat everyone involved extra well, especially if they too are not getting paid.Try to stick to attainable goals, especially if other people are involved. It is hard for volunteers to contribute to an idea in your head that never gets revealed. They are left thinking you don't care about their contribution because they never see it realized.Money causes its own problems.There are projects that would be much better off without money involved: no taxes, no issues about sharing, no hurt expectations and much less paperwork.I'm sure there are many PDF projects especially that would feel better and be more 'successful' if they were free.Just my .02Sigurd</blockquote>
