Torvalds to kernel hopefuls: Think 'trivial'

,----[ Quote ]
| Mark Taylor, president of the Open Source Consortium, told ZDNet.co.uk on
| Friday that, in general, enterprise-class open-source projects are designed
| to scale appropriately.
|
| "The whole process scales very well," said Taylor. "Normally the people you
| find at the core (of open-source projects) are professional software
| engineers; these guys know how to run software projects."
|
| Torvalds' and Taylor's comments follow the recent publication of a guide to
| Linux kernel development by the Linux Foundation, which aims to prevent
| developers becoming frustrated with the process.
