- rrrazdan 15y agoWell, I'd like to quote a comment from the original posting. "If you remove one branch from a tree, doesn't change the fact that it's still a tree." This cannot in any way dwarf the magnitudes of contributions they have made to the open source world.
- tzs 15y ago> Where is your open-source god now? OT, but that raises an interesting question. Could you have an open source god? What would a religion be like if its holy texts were a wiki, that any believer could edit?
- msg 15y agoNew Age? Unitarian Universalist? Not trying to be rude, these are merely the most obvious cases that mold themselves to the believer's opinion. Also, observe the syncretism of Buddhism in different regions.
- bitwize 15y agoProbably Judaism. Seriously, I think the Jews invented the wiki: consider the form and structure of the rabbinical commentary on their holy texts, very wiki-like in form and purpose. Of course ordinary believers couldn't "edit" it...
- Someone 15y agoLots of forks, as in Protestant churches (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bestand:Gereformeerd.svg http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bestand:Gereformeerd.svg really starts to look like a history of Unix) Of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mennonite_Church_in_the_Netherlands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mennonite_Church_in_the_Netherl... probably would be popular; every church member writes his own confession when joining the church.
