Analogy of software development methodology. Software developed in
|
|
|
|
|
public according to normative FOSS praxis is said more like the
|
|
|
|
|
chaotic and more organic trading style of a bazaar than the
|
|
|
|
|
pristine top-down architecture of a cathedral created by visionary
|
|
|
|
|
engineers. The analogy is made in a 1999 book by Eric Raymond,
|
|
|
|
|
called The Cathedral and the Bazaar.

Characteristics of bazaar style development include releasing code
|
|
|
|
|
early and often, treating users as co-developers and making extensive
|
|
|
|
|
use of internet for project communications and interaction with
|
|
|
|
|
code repositories.
