> Maybe it's just me but I just don't like DHH's governance lately. It's not really governance, that's kinda the problem. To be fair, he never claimed that he was providing governance. Rails was extracted from basecamp. The impression I get is that he sees Rails as a gift to the community created from the profit-making Basecamp. Which is great; and I appreciate the fact that I've been able to build a career using Rails. But there is no governance really. Rails goes in the direction that 37signals wants it to, which is largely pretty good. You and I don't get much of a say in it though; especially if DHH disagrees.
