It’s true that open source software is wildly popular among end-users. Technology analyst firm IDC estimates that open source Linux servers will exceed 28 percent of the market by the end of 2005. It’s also true that open source development processes are used in an enormous number of proprietary and open source software projects. SourceForge.net alone hosts more than 100,000 open source projects.
However, it’s also true that open source projects are often developed in environments where many commercial projects would struggle. In some ways, the open source community is the “worst case” scenario for application development.
