One of these days I will start doing some deep digging into the exact pay each witness gets and what they are doing for it. The costs of setting up a proper server with a full backup server (if you are top 50 you really need 2 servers IMO) and then the other things they are doing to help the community as I see it. Might ask if they are willing to be interviewed and talk to them about what they are doing now and future plans.
This is one reason I'd like to move the contest away from my personal account over to @pifc. Don't want any backlash of my personal thoughts hitting the contest and other efforts of @pifc as I call things as I see them vs just saying what people want to hear. Really want to make @pifc a community account that while I may have a say in things becomes big enough that if I step away for a few weeks it stills runs smoothly.
