Quotes of the week

To me this gets in the "crazy ideas" list. Please add it to the TODO page in the wiki, so that we're sure we never implement it.

The bug wasn't ours. It was in an open source project we use, but do not fund or contribute to in any way.

Make no mistake, sustainable open source development is a *genuinely hard problem*. We're in a much better position than most projects (being one of the top 5 programming languages in the world has its benefits), but we're still effectively running a giant multinational collaborative software development project with close to zero formal management support. While their are good examples we can (and are) learning from, improving the support structures for an already wildly successful open source project without alienating existing contributors isn't a task that comes with an instruction manual :)
