ActiveScaffold Sponsorships

Posted by cainlevy July 31st, 2008

I’ve been thinking back to the months leading up to ActiveScaffold 1.0 and about how much the project really owes to those generous sponsors who encouraged a few devs to contribute to the open source community. That was great!

Could it happen again? I think so! We still maintain ActiveScaffold as we have time (props go to Tim for the push to support Rails 2.1), but I think the project could really benefit from another sprint of activity. There are a few things that would help the project to remain stable and would ease community contributions, such as versioned documentation (rdocs!) and a full test suite. But that’s my bias—what do you think it needs next?

If you like the idea of an ActiveScaffold code sprint and would consider being a sponsor (large or small!) would you please fill out a quick survey?

Thanks!

Update: Thanks to everyone who took the poll – it doesn’t appear that sponsorships are the way to go at the moment.

    It would be helpful to know about the needs that you have specifically. I am not seeing clear info coming from the team regarding the needs.

    Are there any special steps required to implement ActiveScaffold on rails 2.1?

    Please let us know of any specifics, It would be helpful to see more activity regarding this project.

    @James: Do you mean project needs or sponsorship needs?
