Hi!
I started working on this entry (my first post was by an unregistered user by accident). I did it because I noticed that there's a broken link for "Open source sotware development" in Brooks' Law. A lot (but not all) of what can be placed in this entry is covered in the main Open source entry. However, I think the ideas should be expanded upon.
I thought about what to put here, but still don't have a clear structure for everything. Thus, it is possible that it will resemble a brain-dump at first. I promise I will organize it later, assuming no one beats me to it. :-).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software_development_method contains the same topic, and that article is tagged to be listed in the appropriate category.
This edit made the article internally inconsistent, using the terms "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" interchangeably. This is confusing; we should use one or the other. It also undid the change to the name "Debian GNU/Linux", which is the proper name of the OS in question. it should be reverted. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 19:00, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Open source software development → Open-source software development — like Open-source software — Neustradamus ( ✉) 18:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
This article seems to be about "open source" in a sense in which it is not just an alternative term for free software, that is, it is about open-source development of software, rather than development of open-source software. The article avoids any mention of free software, and still it is in the category "free software". Something needs to be done about that, so that it does not encourage the confusion between FLOSS and public handling of bug reports and feature requests ("source code is publicly available" is also unclear if you consider the article to be about OSS). -- AVRS ( talk) 12:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
I have done a major cleanup of this article ( diff), let me know of any conerns. Thank you! Posted on WikiProject Computing also. -- AmritasyaPutra T 05:45, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
This article mixes two styles of referencing:
<ref>
and {{reflist}}
method{{ref}}
and {{note}}
methodThis should be fixed, perhaps by migrating to the <ref>
system? Perhaps a consensus will develop on which to adopt? Please leave your thoughts. Best wishes.
