Open Science and climategate: The IPCC/CRU needs to take a
leaf out of CERN's Book
,----[ Quote ]
| Self serving, incestuous cliques are not
| unique to proprietary software or big
| science. Spats in open source projects are
| known but unlike the CRU or the IPCC, the
| data and code is free and open and no
| exclusive, corrupt peer review process can
| long hide facts. This article has only
| touched the tip of the iceberg (no pun
| intended). This matter is properly the
| subject of whole books and websites. My
| intention has been to see what is wrong with
| the process from the perspective of the
| culture and practice of open source
| methodology. I suspect though, that matters
| have degenerated so far that the best
| practice of free software geeks would not
| have saved the CRU from itself. What a mess.
| What a bloody mess.
