Dyne is also an online community of open source developers and programmers.
On 2 Feb, I changed the first sentence to say that the CGS system is "obsolete". This was reverted four days later. However, I think it is important to put the dyne / CGS into perspective, so now I changed "cgs" to "cgs, a predecessor of the modern SI". Hope that variant will become consensus.
Apart from that, the edit that reverted my edit had this comment:
From what I'm reading on the CGS page, "widely used" is an overstatement--it's more like "occasionally encountered". So in order to provide context for further edits, here are some quotes from the CGS article:

The page says one dyne is 10−5 kg·m/s², which is 10-5 N, but then says that it is equal to 10 µN, which is 10-6 N. Which one is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.161.121.122 ( talk) 18:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
