Brian,

I think your points are quite relevant and I want to thank you for reinforcing that. I would point out, however, that technology isn't much of a solution because the real problem is not Human interaction with Computers, but rather human interaction with eachother.

These are hence project management problems and actually lead to a number of other issues as well. So rather than say what I want, I will say how my largest project (LedgerSMB) is handling those challenges.

LedgerSMB is a community-developed accounting program forked from SQL-Ledger. We don't much care for the original architecture and design of the software so we are building our own. We have managed to build an organic process for handling design issues built on (you guessed it) human communication.

We have several email lists (-users, -devel, -announce, -hotfix, -core, and the like). Any major change to the software gets floated in two of those lists: -users and -devel. The first is for review of usability requirements, while the latter is for technical/design discussions. Those discussions form the backbone of communication of design principles, concepts, and priorities. Once sufficient concensus is reached, the proposal is accepted. Once a number of these proposals coalesce into a larger whole, we do generally write up the "superproposal" for further discussion. These superproposals are then archived on our site.

It may not be perfect but it means that discussion is always going on and that anyone can get the information they need by sending out an email.

"Rather than litigate, Microsoft has spent the last three years building an intellectual property bridge that works for all parties--including open source--and the customer response has been tremendously positive. Our focus is on continuing to build bridges."

That's sounds good, no bad software anymore. Only bridges.

Hi Bryan,

This ISV Forum looks great. Wish I could have been there. I had the opportunity to have dinner with Larry Augustin a few years ago in Las Vegas when I was with another company. He's truly an Open Source advocate who knows, and believes in Open Source. The fact that he's there with you at this conference says a lot.

Hope you had a great turnout.

Take care,

Dave
