Facebook are pretty bad at driving open-source projects. For example: their Cassandra project has had no code commits for the last several months ( http://code.google.com/p/the-cassandra-project/source/list http://code.google.com/p/the-cassandra-project/source/list )
While this code and idea sharing is good, it seems like they mostly use it for publicity stunts (i.e. release something open-source, generate press and keep on developing it internally).
- aschobel 18y agoThrift seems to have a fair amount of activity: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/thrift/trunk/ http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/thrift/trunk/ What I would fault them for is poor documentation. Google does a much better job on this front.
- mtw 18y agomaybe Cassandra was mature and stable when they released it?
- amix 18y agoUnlikely that such a complex system does not have any bugs or improvements. Documentation for the project is also _very_ sparse.
