$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.On Aug 5, 2006, at 2:28 PM, court3nay wrote: On Aug 4, 2006, at 5:39 PM, Charles O Nutter wrote: On 8/4/06, court3nay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Aug 4, 2006, at 5:11 PM, Charles O Nutter wrote:

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?
