I've noticed that open source programmers have a tendency to be very
honest and upfront with their softwares' defects and weaknesses.
I'm starting to wonder if that is a good thing....
It may be true that it is the openness/integrity/honesty that has gotten F/OSS
this far. I *hope* that honesty is the best policy.
Yes I wonder if the marketing experts would agree with that. For example, what
do the big boys in Microsoft's and Sun's marketing departments say one should
do?
They say hide it and never admit anything. Just like in every company
I've worked for that had any known problem with any product. Eventually,
in every case, it comes to bite them square in the ass.
Better to be honest about it, fix it ASAP, and forgo the ass biting.
