Laura Creighton paints a picture of enthusiastic
workers building cathedrals, failing and learning from their
mistakes, as a model of open software. A tour of the lovely
town of York England 3 years back pointed out that
the capital raised to build the York Minster and 40 some other
churches in old York was extorted from wealthy landowners and the
peasants (pay or go to hell). I think this better fits the model
of large corporations putting pressure on managers to get products
to market, or lose your job or not advance up the corporate ladder.
Certainly this was a top down endeavor, not bottom up as is plan9
and Linux.
