[[As they built out their sites at Cnet, Wanstrath and Hyett wound up making a lot of improvements to Ruby on Rails itself. But they found it wasn’t so easy to get those changes integrated back into the open-source project. Following the then-dominant model of open source development, Rails was managed by a cadre of trusted coders who’d been given permission to “commit” changes to the project’s source code. To get one of their changes added to the central code, Wanstrath and Hyett would have to lobby one of those trusted coders and convince him that their change was worth integrating. That was often more work than writing the code in the first place.]]

Enquanto eles construiam os sites no Cnet, Wanstrath e Hyett acabaram implementando muitas melhorias no Ruby on Rails. Mas eles descobriram que não era tão fácil fazer com que essas melhorias fossem integradas no código fonte do projeto software-livre. Para fazer com que uma alteração fosse incluida no repositório central, Wanstrath e Hyett tiveram que convencer um dos desenvolvedores de confiança daquele projeto para que a mudança deles valesse a pena e fosse integrada. Esse trabalho normalmente levava mais tempo do que desenvolver a melhoria.

[[They weren’t the only developers chafing under that Trusted Gatekeeper model of open source. A decade ago, Linus Torvalds found himself struggling to manage his role as gatekeeper of the Linux operating system he invented. In the beginning, Torvalds hosted Linux on a website belonging to the University of Helsinki. If people found a bug in the code, they’d send him a file with the changes via e-mail. If Torvalds read the e-mail and liked the changes, he’d incorporate them into Linux. But Torvalds is notorious for not reading all of his e-mail, so as the project got popular, more and more submissions were slipping through the cracks.]]
