Lots of companies hire people to work on open source projects. It is how most of it gets written. He could probably get a job where working on this is part of it in a heartbeat.
(not that I disagree with this project or method, I think he should do the same as what Google Appengine does with its installer - it is seriously awesome)

- matt_yoho 15y agoThough I'm quite thankful Engine Yard chose to fund his work, I'd categorize doing so as an investment than a generous act. Nothing wrong with either, of course.
- jeremymcanally 15y agoI would certainly agree (especially his work on Merb, since they began offering commercial Merb support and such while he was doing that). The "generously" was partially true, partially facetious. :)
