I am in awe of many resources you are sharing here now but my question is how they are going to monetise their effort? Some of these are run on a volunteering basis and while it is good for the community, I am not sure it is healthy and sustainable in the long term. Any sort of funding provided?


Y'know, _some_ of us just write because we like sharing information we've learned to help others :)


I am in awe that some people seem only to think about things in terms of how much money can be made. Tech has always had a rich community of sharing. Let's not kill that.


They already make lots of money, do you think they really need an extra thousand / month from banners or selling t-shirts? I can guesstimate that they receive many inquires for new business and that could easily bring in more $ than they could ever get from some "clever" monetizing.
