Nonsense. Those are still seminal documents of the Open-Source movement.
- coldtea 10y agoBecause modern open source developers care for those notions? At best there's only historical value in them. Contrast with something like the Mythical Man-Month or SICP that new generations discover again and again. Plus, ESR's documents have been debunked in their claimed benefits of the bazaar style time and again (plus the whole end of "linux on the desktop" dream -- again, meant by those believing in it as Linux-based distros being a major desktop OS player to overtake MS, not in the "works for me and I've installed it to my parents too" sense).
