Myths About Open Source Development
jpkunst writes "A thought-provoking article by chromatic on oreillynet, listing eight "myths" that Open Source developers tell themselves. For example: Myth: Publicly releasing open source code will attract flurries of patches and new contributors. Reality: You'll be lucky to hear from people merely using your code, much less those interested in modifying it."
oooh! teeheehee! buahahaha! muahahaha! oooh!

it offers nada zip zero nothing.
here's a myth that's also relity: if you get a stupid ass flamebait article posted on slashdot you will get thousands of visitors.
the relevant points are relevant to ANY software. though, it's much nicer to have a source that needs only bit tweaking to get it going than a binary only installer that just simply refuses to work and gives no warnings at all.
