What about doing a site about it, a manifesto (with rococo-styled visual
elements of course), and a networking / invitation system? My rationale is
this: If this Rails maturity model will be a future benchmark, then
something like that will appear sooner or later. If not, the topic of
software craftsmanship & Rails will definitely be with us for a while, so a
site like that will appear sooner or later.

Will it be worth it? I think definitely - in fact in might create more jobs
in the Rails world, because a maturity model will make Rails a viable
alternative in the enterprise world - a direction in which Rails seems to be
heading anyhow.

PS. A guild is what it must be. Software is about craftsmanship, and it has
all been done before. Besides, there's a nice medieval ring to it. Let's
make a Guild and become the secret ruling caste of the world, much like what
Knights Templar developed into from the masonic guilds of the day. We will
control the European communication grids, have a monopoly over all Rails
jobs in the world, and amuse ourselves by smashing the servers powering the
Great Firewall of China.
