What to expect from the community
,----[ Quote ]
| For organic open-source communities, bug fixes, code contributions, etc. can
| be expected, though not to the levels commonly expected. It turns out that
| all (or nearly all) communities are small, even for projects like Linux and
| Apache. Some, like Drupal, break this mold, but they are the exception, not
| the rule.

Taking a risk on open source

| Sit back and let me tell you a story about a game-changing open source
| e-commerce project, an emerging web development firm in Bloomington, and how
| folks there discovered this project and I, in turn, discovered them.

Coders Tell Why They're Avoiding Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Corp. undoubtedly wanted to avoid its current predicament. It has
| been publicly talking up features in Vista since 2003 -- half a decade.
|
| But such "overmarketing," as Krasowski calls it, can rebound. Experienced
| developers have become jaded towards the third-party apps Microsoft trots out
| as exemplars of Redmond's latest technology -- "demoware," he calls them --
| that sparkle with flashy animation and video.
