Oh come on. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, usage or jargon guide. Delete, or at least move to another Wikimedia Project. This isn't encyclopedic. ~ Wikihermit 23:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep about a concept, with adequate sources. (The article is not about whom one might think it is, but I'd say keep even if it were) DGG 01:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Merge This concept seems primarily associated with The Cathedral and the Bazaar, and I suggest it be merged there. I don't see much to convince me it's significantly independent of the original essay. FrozenPurpleCube 02:54, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Per above. oysterguitarist~Talk 03:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that should either be merged with The Cathedral and the Bazaar or left as an article. Andrew D White 13:27, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per DGG. Capmango 17:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
