Agreed. Often *innovative* guys run away from such projects. OSS guys do not want to take *responsibilites*, generally speaking. Also, this often dampens the motivation of the "not-defined" guys. > I've also seen projects with a strong leader wallow as their leader > has gone off and started something new and more fun. (*2) Agreed, too. Often *conservative* guys hate such projects - and say - "This project is very primitive." -- Required would be *balance*, i guess. In case (*1), "warm-hearted" enemies would be often able to resuscitate (*1) projects. NOTE: If not-"warm-hearted", (*1) would lose in competition. In case (*2), "public appeal" method would be required. In open source world, anyone can take over. - just people do not know what they can do (and they are shy enough) and where such projects exist. - Mechanism would resolve. "offer for public subscription" *plus* - "allocation of appropriate rights" Again and again, just a balancing issue. Also, community often loses balance. - Be careful. -- Tetsuya.
