Quoting Craig Newmark:
A lot of people say that the internet is about technology. For me, itʼs about people, and
people connecting with each other in their day-to-day lives. In that way, the internet
hasnʼt changed at all since I started craigslist ten years ago. We help people to find each
other and we give them a voice, and somehow, people really do feel a sense of community
that they belong to.
This is exactly what I want to obtain with Source.zone: people (developers) connecting with each other in their day-to-day activity.
What will it take to get there? Well, among other things, mostly integrity:
Very important to me is the culture of trust that weʼve created and maintained on our
community since craigslist started. People are generally trustworthy, and I think in
this day in age thatʼs something to acknowledge and encourage. We do everything
in our power to foster this culture and the goodwill of people on the site, and weʼre
pretty obsessive about providing exceptional customer service.
So, in order to foster trust and in the interest of full disclosure, here are some ground rules:
- Contributors will retain copyright over all the content they create, while granting Source.zone a non-exclusive license to publish it on the site.
- I have already started putting Google and Amazon ads on some pages. This is intended to hopefully gather enough money to cover hosting and software costs. My own time won't be billed, but I wouldn't despise raising enough revenue to allow me to dedicate more time to it.
