Ghost: Just a Blogging Platform by John O'Nolan: An open source blogging platform which makes writing pleasurable and publishing simple. — Kickstarter - http://www.kickstarter.com/project...
“Every penny we make from our hosted customers will be re-invested to make Ghost better and grow the platform.
The sad thing about Open Source software projects funded on Kickstarter is that they usually have an initial flurry of activity when they launch, and then they slowly but surely die off when the money runs out because they have no business model to keep going. We want to build Ghost to be a self-sustaining open source project.
Users hosting with us = revenue = development = better software = more users = more revenue = more development = well... you get the idea.” - × × ×
Будет интересно, если свои 250к фунтов они таки соберут за оставшиеся 6 дней (лишь бы только какой-нибудь совсем крупный зверь не попробовал сесть в этот сервант с сервизами). - × × ×
“Ghost is a non-profit. We'll make money from our premium hosted service, but we'll use 100% of the money to make Ghost better and pay people to work on it. We won't distribute any profits to shareholders, because there won't be any shareholders. A non-profit has trustees who don't own shares, they just oversee the company. We literally won't have anything for Yahoo! to buy.
The Ghost blogging platform is free. It always will be.
We'll be launching Ghost with a Tumblr importer. So if you'd rather own your data instead of giving it to the purple dragon of doom - Join us.” - × × ×
189K фунтов, и три часа до закрытия. Кажется, 250К на хостинг парни кикстартером не соберут, но сервис всё же сделают. - × × ×
