Hi all, Just to inform about the recent events on how dictatorship in a FOSS project can lead to a complete fork by all developers.
The subject is TWiki and the articles covering this event are below... http://wordpress.metro.cx/2008/10/28/twiki-is-dead-long-live-twiki/ http://blog.wikiring.com/Blog/BlogEntry28 http://fosiki.com/blog/2008/10/29/twiki-stops-being-open-source/ http://colas.nahaboo.net/Blog/TWiki_forks http://blog.musmo.com/2008/10/29/the-end-of-twiki/ As a heavy user, it's quite disheartening that a FOSS project doesn't adhere to democracy and transparency resulting into a fork. I have yet to hear projects forking in such a tremendous way. KwangErn
