http://pledgie.com/campaigns/571 <p> <b>***NOTE: PayPal fiasco over, thanks to Garry from Pledgie. You can now resume donations here, sorry for the delay. </b> </p> <p> I am trying to raise enough money to put my commercial and personal projects on the back burner for several weeks / months, so that I can work on open source Ruby projects that are in high demand by the community. </p> <p> I am looking for a small salary of $500/wk for up to 26 weeks of work, beginning on April 15, 2008. This means that $13000 would keep me working on this project for 6 months. Though I will be willing to accept some excess pay to make things a little more comfortable, I have set a cap at $20000. </p> <p> If I don't raise $13000, I will happily work for 4 weeks, or even 2. Of course, the longer I can keep this project up, the better. </p> <p>Ruby Central, Inc. has <a href="http://rubymendicant.wikidot.com/ruby-central-press-release">agreed to match donations</a> dollar per dollar up to $5000, so that means that I only need to raise $8000 from community donations to reach my goal of working for 6 months.</p> <p> Please take a look at <a href="http://rubymendicant.wikidot.com/proposal">my full proposal</a> for more details. Thank you so much for supporting this effort! </p> -Gregory Brown en-us 1.
