== Agenda for this entry ==
Line 11 ⟶ 17:
: The concept behind this article is just as flawed and poorly planned as those of the BSD and Linux article which was recently deleted. You are stretching for far too much and will only end up with a wretched and unreadable article if you don't end up with on completely filled with invalid information and gross generalizations. You should probably try to trim down your article to either one type of development or make this an index of sorts to articles which detail the particular development styles. Linux kernel, GNU tools, Apache projects, BSD derivatives, random other projects - they all do things differently. [[User:Janizary|Janizary]] 05:55, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
== duplicate subject ==
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software_development_method contains the same topic, and that article is tagged to be listed in the appropriate category.
:I think these two articles should be merged, but it's a ton of work to do so. --[[User:Jackson|Jackson]] 15:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
:It must have been an accident that both were created. Surely, with two nearly identical titles, these two articles must overlap a great deal. The articles are among the oldest marked for merger consideration (almost a year); yet almost no discussion of this proposal has taken place. It ''is'' a lot of work, but it can be done in pieces. Are there any objections to doing so? [[User:Hult041956|Hult041956]] 21:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
::Go for it if you think you can do it! [[User:Radagast83|Radagast83]] 04:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
:::I had both article sitting on my desk in hard-copy, getting psyched up to scale this mountain. This morning I see you got there first. ;-) Congratulations. There was a ton of stuff in both articles. To what extent did you actually manage to ''merge'' it all? [[User:Hult041956|Hult041956]] 16:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
== Recent revert ==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Open_source_software_development&diff=prev&oldid=272136806 This edit] made the article internally inconsistent, using the terms "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" interchangeably. This is confusing; we should use one or the other. It also undid the change to the name "Debian GNU/Linux", which is the proper name of the OS in question. it should be reverted.

== Requested move ==
[[:Open source software development]] → [[Open-source software development]] — like Open-source software — [[User:Neustradamus|Neustradamus]] (<big>[[User talk:Neustradamus|<span style="color: black">✉</span>]]</big>) 18:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
:Discussion moved to [[Talk:List of free and open source software packages#Requested move]]. [[User:Jafeluv|Jafeluv]] ([[User talk:Jafeluv|talk]]) 16:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
*That discussion was closed '''no concensus after 34 days''' [[User:Anthony Appleyard|Anthony Appleyard]] ([[User talk:Anthony Appleyard|talk]]) 11:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
== "open source" ==
This article seems to be about "open source" in a sense in which it is not just an [[Alternative terms for free software|alternative term for free software]], that is, it is about open-source development of software, rather than development of open-source software. The article avoids any mention of free software, and still it is in the category "free software". Something needs to be done about that, so that it does not encourage the confusion between [[FLOSS]] and public handling of bug reports and feature requests ("source code is publicly available" is also unclear if you consider the article to be about OSS). --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] ([[User talk:AVRS|talk]]) 12:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
== Recent cleanup ==
I have done a major cleanup of this article ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Open-source_software_development&diff=632382154&oldid=631776552 diff]), let me know of any conerns. Thank you! {{small|Posted on WikiProject Computing also.}} --[[User:AmritasyaPutra|<span style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;color: #FF9933">AmritasyaPutra</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:AmritasyaPutra|T]]</sup> 05:45, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
== Two styles of referencing ==
This article '''mixes''' two styles of referencing:
* the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code> method
* the <code><nowiki>{{ref}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{note}}</nowiki></code> method
This should be fixed, perhaps by migrating to the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> system? Perhaps a consensus will develop on which to adopt? Please leave your thoughts. Best wishes.
