  這篇文章尚未完成, 或者永遠無法完成.  提出一個理論也許永遠不會停止討論直到地老天荒, 它只是開始而已.  我很樂於接受回響, 建議, 及修正並將之納入本文中. 文後有一些變動記錄.

   這是我計劃中, 對開放原始碼軟體生態系, 所寫的四篇文章中的第二篇.  第一篇為`教堂觀與市集觀".  第三篇將為`神奇大汽鍋'探討開放原始碼軟體經濟(內容的部份已經在 Open Source 站中).  第四篇標題將會是`編織因陀羅網', 專注於大型軟體的革命性及社會角色.

如果您喜歡這些文章, 您可能也會喜歡我寫的如何成為玩家問答集.

譯者前言:

有志於擔任任何單位的主管應當要看. 本文所表現的不只是科技文化, 它還表達出了現代智庫運作的機制.  對於經營管理高智商團隊的人們來說, 有其可借鏡之處.

希望進入開放原始碼界活動的人們, 及身在其中的人們, 應該要看. 瞭解自身的文化, 對自我層次有提昇的作用.

使用開放原始碼軟體的人們要看. 本文告訴您, 是那些人在為您默默地服務.

不知開放原始碼軟體是何物之人, 更應該要看.  本文告訴您, 一個長久可信, 高智商, 高智庫的團體, 為社會的犧牲奉獻, 而您有許多可從中獲取的實際利益, 不要浪費自身的權益.

Commentary and Argument

 Russ Allbery has also commented perceptively on the material.

 I have written an essay of fame, ego, and oversimplification to counter some misinterpretations of HtN.
 

History

 12 April 1998: Version 1.3. Typo fixes and responses to first round of public comments. First four items in bibliography. An anonymously contributed observation about reputation incentives operating even when the craftsman is unaware of them. Added instructive contrasts with warez d00dz, material on the `software should speak for itself' premise, and observations on avoiding personality cults. As a result of all these changes, the section on `The Problem of Ego' grew and fissioned.

 16 April 1998: Version 1.7. New section on `Global implications' discusses historical tends in the colonization of the noosphere, and examines the `category-killer' phenomenon. Added another research question.

 27 April 1998: Version 1.8. Added Goldhaber to the bibliography. This is the version that will go in the Linux Expo priceedings.

 26 May 1998: Version 1.9: Incorporated Fare Rideau's noosphere/ergosphere distinction. Incorporated RMS's assertion that he is not anticommercial. New section on acculturation and academia (thanks to Ross J. Reedstrom, Eran Tromer, Allen MacInnes, and others). More about humility, (`egoless behavior') from Jerry Fass and Marsh Ray.

 11 July 1998: Version 1.10: Remove Fare Rideau's reference to `fame' at his suggestion.
