Trouw: Snowflake Becomes Avalanche [LWN.net]

KDE.News has an English translation of an interview with several KDE contributors that appeared in the Dutch newspaper Trouw. "Fabrice Mous, "There is not one person who has a final say in this, like Linus Torvalds has with Linux. Everybody is equal and every contribution is equal. Although we have the concept that we have people with an account when they want to touch the code themselves, and people without these accounts. This is because not everybody is going to be involved for a long time. When it looks like somebody is going to stick around for a while then it is useful to get write access. It is a also meant as some form of security. You don't want outsiders to do a lot of damage to a program.""
