@radicalpenguin Maybe bounties are good as they may not include the #power-by-money thing. Developing a complex software behind closed doors, in your dark chamber won't help you much, so this is not a good way in my oppinion. But how should a #democratic community work? Can all members (not just developers) decide which feature gets implemented and which not? And more important, how? #OOP or #linear? I would find it as a bad idea because, if rookies are programming with the team, they can vote
@radicalpenguin ... down hard topics such as #OOP. I have seen this with !yacy for example where the main programmer Mr. Christen said to me that he cannot develop so complex, else a programmer (with not much skills in OOP) cannot understand it and may discontinue to "help" him.
@radicalpenguin So what is the best? I think the one that last longest and currently the #Linux community does exist very long (since #1977 or so?). Linus has maintainers around him who know how he likes source code been written. So they can filter out a lot bad stuff (Linus would probably reject). As far as I know he is currently not much programming anymore but only merging and signing-off.
@roland Good input. I'm not sure what is the best way for free software projects to be organized. I guess it depends a lot on the project and the people involved. Not sure if a universal approach would work. The Linux kernel community is not that old. From the 90s, but it has been a few years since the 90s now.
