Most succesful , and large open source projects seem to follow the Benevolent Dictator style organization. But I was wondering if there are any success stories with agile development in Open source.

I need the CMS to provide a way of giving certain users in our company control over certain sections of the web site (i.e., allow our Marketing department to update press releases, our HR department to update job postings, etc). It should a...
I've decided to have a look around for open source projects that need a hand and lend a bit of time to one or two. One question though, is there a site(s) that lists current open source projects that are looking for developers and is there anywhere I could for example filter open source projects by language/technology/etc. What I'm afte...
If I've got some code that I'd like to share and make open source. I'm not a lawyer. What are the big differences between these choices? LGPL - GNU Lesser General Public License MIT License Apache License ...
I'm currently taking a class, and I'd like to release the software I've developed for it under the GPL. It's nothing special (in my opinion), but someone might find some use for it. I was wondering if I'm somehow restricted because I did it as a class assignment? Also, to what extent would the restrictions apply. Am I not allowed to ...
Does anyone know about an opensource list of most common error messages? My motivation for this question, although I am adept at writing code, English is not my mother tongue. And, such a list (somewhat, like all those free icons on the net) will shorten the last stages of my development, And good (and fun) error messages are part ...

I'm looking for a java-based (preferable) mailing list application that allows users to opt-in/opt-out of mailing lists. Open-source is preferable but not mandatory.

Hey guys, I'm a really tight schedule to code up a prototype for a website. I'm working with Django and am just starting out. Can you suggest open source Django snippets for the following: 1) A User Registration system (Registration/Authentication/Sessions) 2) A Rating System (Preferably a x/10 or 5 stars rating system) 3) A tags bas...
The next sentence caught my eye in Wget's manual wget --spider --force-html -i bookmarks.html This feature needs much more work for Wget to get close to the functionality of real web spiders. I find the following lines of code relevant for the spider option in wget. src/ftp.c 780: /* If we're in spider mode, don't really retrie...
I am interested in studying license management patterns and coding techniques in detail. ...
As I understand it software being open source does not prevent you from selling it (does this depend on the type of license?) but is this a good idea? For my pet project the target audience is for the most part non-programmers who wouldn't know how to compile the source anyway, but I still want to keep it open mostly for possible future...
I was browsing for an open source kernel when I ran across SANOS which feels like something worth keeping alive as open source. To bring it up to modern standards, the following enhancements need to occur: Support for Multiple CPUs/Cores Add IPv6 (currently only supports IPv4) Ability to run 8192 concurrent threads Ability to support ...
It would seem to me that many large enterprises already have robust directory services such as Active Directory and it would be silly to constantly duplicate users in an application-specific store. Even if you require duplicating the user store, you can provide a mechanism to authenticate against Active Directory. Alternatively, you cou...
I run the open-source project, and maintain a support forum to help answer user's questions. This works tolerably well, except that it turns that at a forum is not actually that good at managing user support requests. So, on the spur of the moment, I thought to myself, "StackOverflow is a perfect place for answering questions! Why don't...
I have an interesting idea for a new programming language. It's based on a new programming paradigm that I've been working out in my head for some time. I finally got around to start working on a basic parser and interpreter for it a few weeks ago. I want my new language to be successful and I want to eventually create a community arou...
