AFAICT you are talking different beasts. Carl is talking about a pet
project, a 1/2/3 person job, maybe writing drivers for the entusiasts
favourite piece of indows only hardware. Its true that in those cases
you often have a few enthusiasts who release their work for the greater
good, the greater testing, cross fertilisation of ideas etc.

Steve i think is referring to a larger project, for example writing an
accounting system or a competitor to kde/gnome. kick starting a lerger
project is, i imagine, a nightmare.

how about a talk on those experiences one clug night steve...
