$13,000 in what, 24 hours? Holy balls, that's some serious response! Somebody should get another post up on Riding Rails with that sweet number.

Maybe use the money to pay a gardener to organize the wiki.  The
problem with the wiki is that it becomes very conversational and muddy.

That's fair too..I think any good wiki needs a steward (or a few stewards) to keep it uniform. But a good wiki is quite an amazing thing.


Yup.. a coherent voice really helps.

By the way.. we just passed $13,000 in donations.  Yay, community!

I'm going to need a NPO (non-profit) to funnel this through, what do you (i.e. core-list) people think about a Rails foundation?
