RE: [PHP] Pay for help

Yup, and I am your competitor! PHPBeginner.com is about to be something like WeberDev.com (which I personally very much like and respect) Remember, Berber, my postings of on WeberDev.com which you replied me back to: from your email: August 23, 2000 " Hi Why did you post an article from Zend as an example? did you write the article? Sincerely berber " I then replied to you: " Hi Boaz, No, I did not write the article, I just thought how useful it can be for beginners to start writing classes in PHP. I appologize if what I did was against your rules. If it was then please remove my entry from your database. Maxim Maletsky " and then you explained it to me: " Hi It's not against any rule but it think it doesn't look good to add an example as a link to another site which is a competitor. At least not without asking first. I took it off for now. thanks for the try though, and don't hesitate to add more examples in the future :) Sincerely berber " I know it doesn't look nice, but, common, we are talking about open source technology... a little of allowance would be nice since you are not really earning anything. Guess what, that day a though came to my mind, why not to write some articles and compete with you? I have a dedicated server in New York all for my own, for a different business I do, so I'll just build a website and dedicate it to the beginners of PHP Community, they'll love it. I'll write some staff for them and so on... Newbies to me, advancers to you! Too bad I cannot dedicate all of my time to PHPBeginner.com, I am a senior developer here in Tokyo in an IT PRE-IPO. Have a whole bunch of things to do, plus my hobbies are helping out developers at Source Forge and reading tutorials of things I don't know "C or Java for example, advanced web usability design" I am not hoping to earn much from the site, nor I can lose much, I will only bring more curiosity for these who ask : "hey, what's the difference between echo and print ?" I do really care about this idea: "Making webmasters and Perl/C/Java Programmers interested in PHP." I won't have a code database, nor I'll have much content at the beginning. No sales online ... a banner only allowing me sometimes get a day off from work :-)) a newbie uses my site until he know too much and thinks it is boring then he goes to elsewhere like WeberDev.com or PHPBuilder.com Check it Out PHPBeginner.com - will open very soon! Today, in few hours from now! Cheers, Maxim Maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Boaz Yahav [mailto:berber@netvision.net.il] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 5:06 PM To: 'Robert V. Zwink'; php-general@lists.php.net Cc: Boaz Yahav; richard@yourlink.net; 'rafi@weberdev.com' Subject: RE: [PHP] Pay for help It's very funny these emails :) 1st, it's berber and not Mr. Yahav (like Mr. Gates). 2nd, every now and then comes someone that has no idea about the WeberDev.com background and thinks We are here for the $1,000,000's. A few words of correction : 1. WeberDev.com has been around since April 1998. Till sometime in 2000 There was only me, Mr. berber, devoting much of my time to set this site up (days and nights), after that came Rafi to help. 2. We do not make $$$ from the site nor is it our main job. I'm a software engineer working for an ISP and Rafi is a lawyer, we both keep WeberDev.com as a hobby and for the benefit of the PHP community. 3. While people may think this is a big company, with tens of developers and content writers, I can assure you that it's only Me and Rafi. We pay from our own pockets for the hosting and some more things that are needed to run a site like this and relay on the good will of the community to help where it can. 4. As for the jobs / projects area, it's a place for people to find workers or for companies or individuals that need projects done for them to find developers to do it for them. WeberDev.com is only an intermediate. We do not collect any $$$ from this. This is a free service like any other service on WeberDev.com. and as we all know, not everything can be done by email. I hope this sheds some light about the commercial level of this site. And as to free advertisement, I think that the PHP list is a perfect place to get free advertisement for a site like WeberDev.com, since we are here for the community.

Mr Yahav should have mentioned that he is the owner operator of weberdev.com, and that he has financial interest in contract positions posted on his site. If there was a mistake in net-etiquette, it was not your mistake Richard, but Mr. Yahav's. He should have clearly stated that his email, to you and to the list, was an advertisement for his site. Best of luck trying to find help with installation. I have forwarded your request to a friend of mine that might be able to help. If you don't have luck getting help, please repost and I'm sure someone will be happy to give assistance.

I didn't care if I had to pay or got free assistance. I also realize that paying for Open Source software help may not be etiquette either.
