Brilliant anti-pattern :) Cookie licker - Picture a child who has had enough cookies, but wants to save the last one for later. So they take it off the plate and lick it, to ensure no-one else will eat it. The same phenomenon exists for community projects - prominent community members reserve key features on the roadmap for themselves, potentially depriving others of good opportunities to contribute. Beware of over-committing, and leave space for community contributions in project roadmaps. Be clear on what you will and will not do. [1]
How many of us have given into the temptation of licking a cookie or two :( David 1 - http://www.visionmobile.com/blog/2011/01/open-source-community-building-a-guide- to-getting-it-right/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
