[Gimp-developer] Building healthy community

[Dave Neary]

Hi,

http://www.oreillynet.com/conferences/blog/2006/07/oscon_how_open_source_projects.html


During OSCon, Ben Collins-Sussman and Brian Fitzpatrick of Subversion
fame gave a talk which was apparently very interesting on how free
software projects can survive poisonous people.

There's lots of good advice in there, including:
 * Document your community, decisions and processes
 * Have healthy collaboration practices
 * Avoid names in source code - use revision history for documenting who
did what, to avoid ownership of code/modules

Anyway, it seems pertinent for the GIMP developers community, and
perhaps a starting point for putting in place some better practices.

Cheers,
Dave.
