Judging by the two negative reactions, apparently I didn't follow protocol for posting to the list and I want to apologize for that. I understand how it can look from a different perspective. I checked with the #wine-hackers channel first and those guys were very friendly. We had a great discussion and when I mentioned we were looking for developers they suggested I post here.
Thanks for your time and consideration,
I wouldn't necessarily judge the whole list by just two negative reactions. It's interesting to see that with my wine experience there might be jobs out there working on something similar. (Not that I'm interested right now, I'm still at university...)
I'm sure you're aware that in every open source project, there's people who oppose commercial software development for philosophical reasons.
As for stealing developers, I think the terms of contract could make sure that the developer is free to work on wine in his spare time, but that's a thing for people interested in the job to take care of.
The same people who proposed to post here will still back up that proposal, even if they don't speak up now.
Cheers, Kai
