Paid Programmers for GNUStep

[dr_clow]

I was wondering if there were any developers who would be more interested in 
contributing to GNUStep if there was some money involved. I saw the fund raiser 
from years ago. 

I sponsor a few of open source projects, and was thinking about putting some of 
that money towards GNUStep instead.

Haiku OS has one paid member that makes a lot of their progress, and thought I 
know I cannot provide their entire fund. I would be interested in making a 
monetary contribution  to GNUStep if it meant we could get some of these gaps 
closed. 

Is there any precedence for this? Is it allowed? 

There are two areas that I would love to see rapid improvements
1) True Swift integration (not the wrapper method I am currently trying, which 
is great but I am still not sure how to handle retain cycles with two systems 
of reference counting). I imagine this would mean getting libobjc2 and some of 
the Swift toolchain involved and registering a new 'os' with Swift.
2) NSViews backed by layers in libs-gui (instead of as a side project). I am 
really needing this. 

If I were a compiler programmer, I would have already started, but it is 
currently beyond me to even compile swift. 

I would love to hear y'alls thoughts. Thanks!
