Having read about the beginnings of a lot of open source projects it is common for an initial period of “closed” small team development.
Episode 32 of the Django Chat podcast touches on this topic at 34 minutes in. DHH talks about the benefits of a small group of people working fast to shape a feature before releasing it to the community.

- hbadgery 7y agoThank you for such an insightful comment. This is exactly the approach we are taking to launch OpenTeams. By having a small "closed" group focus on launching key features, we believe that our new business model will become the default approach to helping open source projects become sustainable.
