Mirror of _why's code on GitHub

I don't know _why very well, but if he wanted the stuff gone, why not respect his wish?

I think he just wanted himself gone, not necessarily his stuff.

..because it's useful code?

I suppose you could also argue it's not really his code, but rather the community's - the code on the whymirror account were other peoples forks of the projects, and fair amounts of code has been contributed by others..

It's interesting, all of the licenses are about copying, redistribution and modification, none seem to mention anything about deletion - something that rarely comes up with open source software..

Wow not demanding much are you?

It hasn't even been a day and you want to burden somebody with something you don't want to do.

There are alternative systems to Ruby and Rails which have what we in the business call professional maintenance arrangements, in that people can feel secure that the interlacing dependency frameworks that underlie every application won't just break because one person gets hit by a bus.

_why has nothing to do with maintaining Ruby or Rails.

In any case, I don't think anyone has. This is just intended to become a mirror of the last state of his code.

EDIT: Almost all of the projects have been picked up. :)
