I can't help but be amused by a post at  Scripting News talking about Jabber in appreciative terms, that is followed four paragraphs later by a piece decrying the hype around Open Source. Last time I looked, Jabber, just like those other successful software projects such as Apache, Linux, PHP and many others was Open Source. As usual, everybody's right at the same time as everyone's wrong. It just depends on which side of the argument you want to be and what point you're trying to argue. It's undenyably hard to make a living out of programming in an Open Source stylee. But that doesn't seem to be stopping a large number of programmers churning out code because they've got an itch to scratch. |
