Jon Udell: I say again: it wasn't primarily about the software. It was about the willingness of people to work transparently, for their own benefit and for the common good. And about the ability of people to think in terms of messages addressed to spaces, rather than messages addressed to people. This is a deep anthropological issue. As a species, we are now being invited to communicate in ways more abstract and indirect than tens of thousands of years of cultural history have conditioned us for. I know we can adapt, and will. The $64,000 question for me is: how soon?
It will be a rocky road for many. I've seen excellent developers who thrive in a corporate environment stall and stagnate in an open source environment. I've seen others positively blossom there. I guess some of us are wired differently.
