In other news, pundits observe that the Linux kernel's development methodology violates most of the tenets of Brooks' "Mythical Man Month". Using ludicrous methods such as distributed development by a diverse team, many of whom have never met in person, and accelerating development by adding people, analysts observe that this method could not possibly work, and therefore the Linux kernel must be a figment of everyone's imagination :)
*grin* That sure isn't what I was trying to imply in passing along the ZDnet article. (Indeed, my own SOHO environment relies almost exclusively on Debian -- mostly Sarge and Sid.) I simply found it interesting that someone is doing research into how the less formal process affects the quality of the results. To me, that has nothing to do with an open (or closed) source model, but everything to do with the process. I'm looking forward to reading their findings. Cheers, Ken
