@dang could perhaps help?
Its not dead at all and it wont die either.
Why? chagpt, or figma or v0 can spin up a few pages of brochure site, even some blog posting level web apps, basic cruds you know. But I don't think it will replace full software engineering.
I work with a large codebase, thats almost 30 years old, multiple framework ( backbone, react, angular) and then java, python for backends. All from different phases and everything is stitched together to make it work, and have a well profit making business going on. There is no model or chatxyz that can dig throug all these connected apps and services and replace our engineering team. It helps us here and there- yeah a lot.
This isn't a boilerplate — it's a personal sandbox uploaded to GitHub. And with no license file, no one can legally use or modify this anyway.
If you want this to be a real boilerplate that people can use, here's what I would do:
- add a license
- write a proper readme
- tag the code and make a release
- cleanup commit history and make period update
I wonder if they are really open or just "open" in the sense of marketing though!
If a domain is taken, it shows full ownership data with great UX — not just a raw JSON dump. Clickable links to social profiles, business info, tech stack, DNS records, and more.
Built it to streamline my own workflow for naming and branding projects. Still early, but already saving me time. More features coming!
These will die if Firefox dies as well. Its a dire situation!

Foundation's 990 (page 8) initially mentions paying 0 for full time work, only later to be explained in supplemental information page that there were in fact paid well high enough.
This could be simply payment structure like you said but their overal financial summary doesn't explain weather this was included in thecost of admin or not.
Page 7 of Form 990 asks for "highest paid employee." including other info where Rust foundation has reported 0 for most people.
It raises questions about transparency, and why a U.S. nonprofit is routing executive salaries through a foreign subsidiary instead of paying them directly.
- The Executive Director was paid £261,151 GBP (~$332,445 USD).
- The Head of Finance & Funding received £113,977 GBP ($145,092 USD) + £10,362 GBP ($13,190 USD) in retirement benefits.
- These salaries weren’t paid directly by the Rust Foundation (a US nonprofit) but instead routed through a UK-based entity, Rust Inc Limited, which is labeled as a “foreign subsidiary.”
Why is a nonprofit paying six-figure salaries through foreign subsidiaries instead of directly?
Is this common among tech nonprofits, or is Rust Foundation’s approach unusual?
--
I’m not accusing them of wrongdoing, but does this raises ̶s̶e̶r̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ some questions about nonprofit governance, transparency?
If anyone has insight into why this structure exists or how other open-source foundations handle executive pay, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
