>From my perspective there's not a whole lot that additional cash would do to help out with rails-the-project. People's time is far more useful a resource for us, and spending a few hours away from paying work to help users on a mailing list or review patches in lighthouse would go a lot further than a cheque for $500 would. Perhaps individual contributors could raise money, but as a project I just don't like the blurry line that'd be drawn between coder-for-hire and coder-getting-a-tip. My clients can demand certain things that some guy tipping can't. Then again, the USA is a great example of how a sign of gratitude (tipping) rapidly devolves into expected 15% tip-tax... -- Cheers Koz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
