6 Examples Of Open Source Best Practices In Knowledge-Sharing Projects
The very effort of creating open source software is a massive knowledge-sharing experience, covering all the domains of software development with many methods and practices.

But what about best practices that span communities, which are useful beyond the unique needs of a single project and broadly applicable to any and all open source software efforts? I'll look at six different knowledge-sharing communities that take six approaches to gathering, maintaining, and distributing their best practices.

Hacking the Farm with Low-Cost, Open Source Tool Designs
After starting his own farm in Missouri, Marcin Jakubowski quickly discovered it's an expensive business.

Over the years we have learned that if you want patches in a timely manner, you need people who are paid to do it...
