dood - just make that shit a service - I've talked to a # of companies that were looking for something like that and were dismayed that they couldn't just sign up w/a credit card, seriously

I agree. In fact, if played correctly, I could see it as an acquisition target of a company like Github.

You can make money and serve the open source community at the same time.

GitHub already has pages and wikis and is heavily invested in GFM and is killing it in the commercial market. Why would they want a non-Ruby reST product?

And Gittip might turn out to be a way to do that.

Maybe Eric wants to be a person, not an acquisition target.

What about advertising? The audience is very specific, it could be a good match for some ad networks.

I would rather give $1/week than see dice.com ads.

Why? Wouldn't you like seeing ads for, eg, Python events? New Relic? Heroku?

That's what I mean by ads.

You'll get my cash as soon as I get into work.

A brilliant use for gittip - and a brilliant service from readthedocs

Please drop me a line for some corporate sponsorship talks too - would be interested my details on my profile. Cheers
