I think there are a lot of practical problems with Assembly's model, but it feels to me like an imperfect glimpse into what will someday be a really valuable model. I love the idea of being able to contribute to a project with minimal barriers to entry, and get an automatic stake in its success in return.
- hardwaresofton 12y agoYeah, and this is the bit that makes me think that I'm thinking about it wrong. It actually seems like a win-win-win-win for everyone involved (idea submitters, contributors, assembly, and the end user), but I can't shake that sinking feeling.
- bitsweet 12y agoHi @semiel. This is our vision and we're hopefully iterating towards a more perfect solution. We've thought intensely about the details but in reality, we're still learning from the community and constantly finding opportunities to improve. My email is matt@assembly.com if you ever want to share specific thoughts - they are helpful.
- bbcbasic 12y agoYes I am wary of using it being based in a different country. To fully understand the legal implication will be more work than the help I am going to get on the project. I think it would be much more useful to have a meetup-style site to find people locally to work with, then let them organise between themselves if they want to start a company etc. On the other hand for a pure opensource, no profit, MIT-licence kind of thing Assembly would be OK. The problem is Assembly wouldn't make money out of that model. It maybe something that GitHub or Apache could promote though.
