Open Collaboration within Corporations Using Software Forges

,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past 10 years, open source software has become an important 
| cornerstone of the software industry. Commercial users have adopted it in 
| standalone applications, and software vendors are embedding it in products. 
| Surprisingly then, from a commercial perspective, open source software is 
| developed differently from how corporations typically develop software. 
| Research into how open source works has been growing steadily [1]. One driver 
| of such research is the desire to understand how commercial software 
| development could benefit from open source best practices. Do some of these 
| practices also work within corporations? If so, what are they, and how can we 
| transfer them?
