,----[ Quote ]
| Why individuals contribute more to open-source projects than companies do.
|
| When it comes to open-source communities, individuals are much better
| citizens than institutions. The enlightened self-interest that causes
| individuals to send back bug fixes, contribute ideas for new features and
| write documentation is much harder to find in institutions. This week, the
| JargonSpy analyzes why such a gap exists and what can be done about it.
