Open Source Project Management

[JWPlatt]

Here are a few things I dug up about open source project management worth looking at.

For a thorough view of open source project management, read this 190-page treatise by Karl Fogel of the Subversion project:

"Some tidbits from Producing Open Source Software by Karl Fogel:"

The Webkit Open Source Project has some interesting material on workflow, review and committal, for example: http://www.webkit.org/coding/contributing.html - It's obviously a bit more formal than we'd perhaps expect (it's maybe more a template for how Cyan might possibly accept changes back into their own codebase), but it shows some things that probably ought to be considered for general oversight.
