When you make a change to an open source product, it might be useful only to
you,if its useful to other people, then you can submit the module as an addon
However, if you modify the core, you have to take another route, by contacting
the Lead developer's on your suggested hack, The lead developer of the OSS
project can decide to accept the change and include in another version, it can
also be rejected
Its very easy to accept the modifications, if you identify a security
vulnerability, however if its a feature/workflow, thats another issue

I think I'm really being misunderstood here. Like i pointed out before, the
article is about
"How to improve YOUR (MY) programming skills".
not about, software specifications or users requirements or how bad or good
open source
stuff is.
We should realize computer programming and automatic computation dates way
before
software engineering or whatever of its conceptual idiosyncrasies. Thus its
presence is a
different consequence/ calling and not users needs. Like most user comments
emphasized,
however, the article is not about production but rather learning/ education.
So if i may ask; When you customized that Drupal or open atrium to the users
requirements
did you distribute the solution as an open source improvement? I'm missing the
point here.
Most distributed software should be abstracted and can't meet all user
specifics. However,
if it is flawed, then it needs to fixed and redistributed as an upgrade, fix or
whatever
May be one question you need to ask is: What is implied by improved or even
Good programming
skills.
