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.

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.
