"I wonder sometimes if it were possible for everyone to contribute to one linux desktop if the situation would be different today." To a point it could be beneficial, but then we would hit the same wall we're coming to here. Over all, you do not need a large group of developers to work on a project. You just need people who have a specific knowledge in order to add features and fix bugs. Too many people trying to all work on the same thing can lead to too many ideas on how to proceed ahead. Another idea is having a form of management to help guide people towards more system complementary projects, rather than recreating the wheel.
