I'm interested in this project - but I do have a few questions: Who is the target audience? Developers that need an OSS RoR alternative to wordpress? Property owners/managers that need quick sites? Someone else? Why does Open Source matter in this case? And how does it affect the target audience? What disadvantages of Wordpress are you trying to fix/improve/innovate around? (I took a look at the link provided on the website, but assuming the reader is not a developer, it may be better to summarize in your own words). What do donations go towards? What fees are associated with the upkeep and development of this product? How will my donations contribute to development?

Good questions. The target audience for now is developers. The long term vision is that it acts as a platform on which other real estate services can be built. Maybe the title I chose makes it sound like I'm complaining or begging. I'm not - just a sarcastic dig at myself. I'm not expecting to raise much money but whatever I raise will go back into the project. The opencollective is actually a great idea because it means I don't have to go to great lengths to prove that I will put the money I raise back into the project. What I raise and spend will be entirely transparent.
