I was googling for related ideas on open source community successes and failures and stumbled across this post.

I think you have some fantastic ideas. Karsten Wade and others are working on a book called “The Open Source Way,” and one of the chapters that I’ve been interested in expanding is entitled “How to tell if your open source project will fail.”

(I’m particularly interested in expanding some of the ideas to give those interested in “open sourcing” projects beyond software advice on pitfalls to avoid, from seasoned open source community members.)

It seems like you’d have some insights to share, so I wanted to pass along the URL.

Clear and concise summary of a lot of things I want to remember.

However, you might want to change the second set of “HIJ” sections to be “KLM”. :)
