I don't clicking "merge" on more changes if people are willing to do the design work.

I think I'm inclined to try it, as long as it's kept in a separate "paid training" section, and is open to everybody. If it becomes a burden, we can cut it out later. I think the important thing is that it be equally open to everybody or nobody, but not just "some". So we'll go with everybody for now, and switch to nobody later if need be.
