i don't think the production rate has as much to do with value as much as usefulness.... i joined this endeavor because i see the useful value of the idea.... as a certain character in a wonderful film "V" said "Ideas are bulletproof....." Yes, i think ideas are bulletproof..... but the ideas need a platform... and i'm still hoping devtome can provide such a platform.... but some changes must be made before it's basis (devcoin) disappears..... i didn't get in on the "ground floor" but i have a good clue what the "idea" behind devcoin should be..... i'm not a "natural" at writing, but with practice and a lot of different life experience have developed a "feel" for it.... in normal life i am somewhat of a geek with marginal autism..... i'm a bit of a contradiction... i have poor "people skills" but i can explain to non-technical people a lot of technical concepts in plain language and they can understand it (and that's part of my "day job")..... i also have strong beliefs about self expression and freedom (both commodities are in short supply these days).... and see devcoin as a way to further these values... freedom needs an outlet... devtome could be that outlet... and devcoin can reward creative people in a somewhat tangible form.... if it's not left to fail.....

Good points Unclejed. One things that could really give a boost to DevTome is to give submissions a rating. If we had an PG rated and R rated pair of databases to draw from them we could go with more mainstream revenue streams like ad sense. The revenues would vastly increase. My suggestion on this theme in the forum was to have a darknet version and an open web version. The open web version being ad sense compliant as to content and the darknet using the present advertising stream.

That may be seen as bending to the man, in terms of censorship. If that is the common opinion then we simply hunker along until traffic increases the present revenue stream through brute force.
