In response to Chalst, I agree. I think the idea of having a network specifically for developers is appealing. There are a lot of things that I hear about when people are working on them or receive links from the people actually working on the device or software. By the time I see the ad I have either purchased, implemented or wrote it off for whatever reasons. The idea reminds me of the text-ads specifically targetted to the users of Kuro5hin.org; ad’s by the community for the community. It would be exciting to see if we could set this up on Advogato; as a bonus we could test the idea and network and maybe see if it’s feasible for other developer sites.
The ad’s would be ad’s directly from certified users of Advogato; this way we can weed out the rift-raft and a system of thumbs up/thumbs down which is prevalent on Facebook would bump ads up and down the chain.
Christopher Warner is part genius, part idiot. This makes him well balanced. He's worked on numerous opensource projects with great people and has generally led an eventful and fulfilling life. He hopes to retire an old man in a rocking chair should he be so fortunate.
