The source code is hosted here: https://github.com/openbala/rummy.openbala.com For those who are reading this mail for the first time: I developed a website called 'Rummy' - http://rummy.openbala.com as a pet project. This was a cricket game based on World Cup 2011 matches. It had its run, now I'm working on the site for IPL. The website was developed on Ruby on Rails. This mail is to say that the source code of the site is open and it is available in github. (And I'll keep checking-in new code as and when I commit to Heroku for IPL) And BTW, please checkout the website you have not done so already - it has an anonymous login for browsing as well - no need to have a Facebook or Twitter account. r b ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Unfortunately Cricket it seems is not for the free minded :) On your welcome page there is the World cup logo. Beware of the sharks, they might come after you if your app becomes popular. My caution is a little paranoid, but can any legal expert in this list throw some light? Is just adding trade mark info enough legal protection? How can you prove that there was no commercial interest in what you are doing? Regards, Arun ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Also, you should be extremely cautious about sharing code for a social media based application. You are given access to the social graph through the keys.
