This is true, to some extent. You're directly charging for materials related to the code. I gave you 2x as much $$ as I did Giles. I'm glad to do it, but his stated purpose wasn't to improve RailsApp, it was to take common general issues and refactor them. RailsApp just happened to be a convenient example.
Hopefully some of the hundreds of smart developers that can contribute will apply some of the code review to RailsApp.
It gets into murky waters though.
I'm assuming contributors don't get a cut of the monthly subscriptions to RailsApp Pro.
I think what you're doing is awesome, and love the approach you've taken.
- fdschoeneman 13y agoFor me, the RailsApps tutorials and sample applications are about doing a quick spike to see how a feature might be done, and then going back and figuring out how to do that same feature your own way, to suit your own purposes. In this sense, refactoring one of the rails apps sample apps is the coding equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel.
- DanielKehoe 13y agoThe revenue generated by the tutorials goes to the open source project. That includes paying contributors. If ANYONE wants to be paid to contribute open source code or write tutorials, just contact me.

- joelhooks 13y agoThat's awesome Daniel. I really appreciate what you are doing. When things wind down with my current egghead push, I might see how I can pitch in to help.
