Is there another solution?

Do we have a corporate sponsor anywhere? i.e. say USD $1000 per month 
would be plenty to have someone keep WM ticking over, project manage it 
and handle releases and so on?

It's not a lot of money for a great product, which could become greater 
with some work on it.

As I see it the fact that WM is not in the Jakarta fold means that there 
is little "community" building around it, and that is why it is suffering.

Oh, and the fact that it is rock solid.
