@Gargron Is it time to separate development and operations? Maybe set up easy-install AWS images and some instructions on how to operate?
I've seen "the tragedy of the commons" play out over 40 years time and again: BBS systems, FTP archive sites, Usenet etc ... and as ex-CompuServe and AOL person I had some responsibility for the first "Eternal September"
Difference now is that we have distributed architecture, OSS and scalable cloud servers.
Maybe even charge small $ to support ops?
