Should software developers do it for themselves?
,----[ Quote ]
| Reg Reader Workshop On March 7, 1992, a little-known Finnish software
| developer called Linus Torvalds issued version 0.13 of his open source
| operating system as version 0.95. It was a bold move, which took place
| (according to the FAQ) because "Linux is very close to a reliable/stable
| system". By moving the numbering system from incrementing from zero, to
| awfully close to 1, he set the sights of those involved very much on the
| goal.
|
| Few today would have any doubt that the move paid off, but it is a fair
| reminder of Linus' hands-on role, which continues to the present day. Indeed,
| however touchy-feely one may consider the world of open source to be, the
| secret of its success can often be ascribed to a level of centralised
| control. "Normally the people you find at the core ... know how to run
| software projects," said Mark Taylor, president of the Open Source
| Consortium, recently.
