Top Ten Open Source Projects

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-makes-you-happy dept.

arclightfire writes "We recently wrote an article for The Independent listing the top ten open source projects. It was hard getting the list down to ten, but we did; here's the top ten - Wikipedia, Firefox, Open Office, Bittorrent, MediaWiki, Xvid, pbb, Outfoxed, dyne:bolic, GIMP, Apache and SourceForge." What would you call your favorite projects? Obviously, this list isn't strictly software projects, so be creative.

    Check this out: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talk:Memory_Leak

    More than enough people have been having trouble with Firefox lately; there's always been a memory leak in Firefox since 1.0, but with 1.5 it has just gotten worse. I run no extensions, no frills, and barely visit sites with flash; usually I just hop on gmail.

    And after three hours of mostly idle time I find my machine dedicating more than 128M of RAM to the browser, and it keeps going up without any user interaction.

    Please open source contributors, who will fix Firefox?

    Unfortunately the Chief Coder in the Sky said "change the words in this book and you'll be very very sorry you did". The Bible is NOT open source.
