Bear in mind that "many eyes" only works when said eyes are looking in that direction. The crucial take-away is that "many eyes" does not make products any better, it just means that when a bug is found, it's a lot easier to find the solution. Because any interested party can look for it rather than hitting a notice "Kein Eintritt!" Cheers, Wol
