There are definitely some interesting points in there. And we can see the same dynamics at work already in Drupal to some extent.
Funny, in a way, that the article relates to the Gnome project.. Trae and I had a bit of a discussion of Drupal and Gnomeish ways such as putting a lot of thought into picking "sane defaults" that will work well for many people. That way of thinking could be one of the things that moves Drupal up Dries' Y-axis of "easy to use" (from his roadmap presentation in Vancouver).
Good thing it's so easy to make modules for Drupal to build new functionality without any fork-mongering :)

It's interesting, as I don't see the negative aspects so strong in the Drupal community like they are referred to the GNOME community in that e-mail. Maybe I just haven't been here long enough. :^) I see them in other projects, but would be way OT here. -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadae.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.sourcemage.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/
