I have been thinking about trying this experiment for awhile now - a project that is 100% open source from the start, on BYOND. Every developer that is interested in working on this project, can!
I am generally an open-source advocate. I love Linux and I enjoy open-source technology in general.
I believe that open-source, if done properly, offers some benefits over a more closed development approach:
- A longer lifeline
- Community oriented development
- Higher quality code
- Freedom to fork and modify
- Reliability
Open source is peer reviewed software, which leads to more reliability. The infrastructure of the Internet is largely composed of open-source programs such as DNS, sendmail, Apache and languages such as HTML and Perl. They have proven to be both reliable and robust under the most strenuous conditions, namely the fast growth of the Internet.
