We had our first web team meeting last night. I think we’re all totally excited by the possibilities. No one’s in it for money or glory, we simply want to bring this project into wonderful existence.
It’s definitely a different vibe than most of the other work that I do. I rarely lead stuff that I have next to no competence on, but it’s going to be an interesting journey ahead.
Currently we’re looking at using a mysql backend with third party api’s over a ruby on rails framework and an ajax-ified front-end… Does that make any sense to anyone? I’m barely grasping it all too.
Here’s a news report on the early stages of the internet. Developers described it as something they just wanted to create, even though there was probably no money in it.





It`s so interesting article! Thanks for it!
what are you trying to do with the “web team”? just curious since i’m a software developer and saw you throwing around all those cool technologies.
