[Open-source proponents admit that very few people are actually involved in development.] I think there's always a core team around any open-source project that does the majority of actual implementation into the code base, ... On the Apache server the core team duties are distributed among 20 or so people, but only six to eight are active at any point in time. Most other projects are somewhere in between ? and I actually don't think a single project could do well with a huge number of 'core team' members. |
We've made a lot of claims about what we can do, now we issue a challenge to analysts to go and figure out a way to measure it. |
What we were trying to do here is to find a consensus that this was a good direction to go in and that there weren't any fundamental problems, and I think we pretty much agreed on that. |
