Mill Computing in 2017

Silly question: does this company retain full-time people, or is their work primarily done by folks employed elsewhere? Maybe I just haven't reached whatever point in life where a salary is no longer necessary, but I was surprised by their About page.

My understanding is that it's a group of enthusiasts and volunteers who are donating sweat equity out of enjoyment and the gentlemen's agreement of full-time employment once the company really gets going.

Or a technical collective. This isn't necessarily sinister.

Both. Both full- and part-timers are on sweat-equity, no cash, although we will be switching to cash-optional with the next funding round.
