I felt this way as well (since the mid nineties) until a couple of weeks ago when I read _Social Architecture_ by Pieter Hintjens. It has a strong idealogical flavour. He stresses that you should focus on building a community, with the code and platform as happy side-effects of that community. For that reason,…

This reminds me of some parts of Pieter Hintjens' book Social Architecture. He advocates that open source projects practice "optimistic merging" where essentially any patch that is well-formed should be accepted, without value judgement (though they may be reverted later). He…
I'm a big fan of Social Architecture by Pieter Hintjens, and it's explanation for why he picked GPL instead a BSD license. BSD tends to fracture the community, and the community is generally even more important than the code, per se.
For the future, I would totally read Social Architecture. It's available here for free (libre and gratis), and is not long, 100 pages or so printed. https://hintjens.gitbooks.io/social-architecture/content/ A huge part of that is how to structure an open…
我以前也是这么想的（从90年代中期开始），直到几周前我读了 Pieter Hintjens 的《Social Architecture》。这本书带有强烈的理想主义色彩。他强调你应该把重心放在构建社区上，代码和平台不过是社区水到渠成的副产品。正因如此，……

……权力的分配方式和社区结构的形式，是一个巨大的因素，却往往被那些只顾技术的维护者/所有者忽视。关于开源的社会属性，Pieter Hintjens 在《Social Architecture》里给出了非常棒的真知灼见[0]。推荐给所有对开源开放项目感兴趣的人去了解一下他的视角。[0] https://www.gitbook.com/book/hintjens/social-architecture/de...

……联盟（Consortium），主要初衷就是亲身看看它是怎么运作的。可惜事与愿违，没跑通。更让人沮丧的是，对于到底什么管用、该推崇什么，我依然毫无头绪。我从 Pieter Hintjens 的《Social Architecture》中汲取灵感，把其视作成功 OSS 的典范：http://hintjens.com/books。但我自己还没实践过。——抱歉，我总把想法混为一谈。我的终极目标是搞清楚如何做出有用、有意义的软件，同时……

这让我想起了 Pieter Hintjens 在《Social Architecture》一书中的一些内容。他主张开源项目践行“乐观合并（optimistic merging）”，也就是原则上任何格式规范的补丁都应该被合并，不做价值评判（尽管后面可能会被 revert 回退）。他……

我是 Pieter Hintjens 写的《Social Architecture》的铁粉，也是他解释为何选择 GPL 而不是 BSD 许可证的拥护者。BSD 往往会让社区分裂，而通常来说，社区本身甚至比代码更重要。

往后看的话，我绝对推荐读读《Social Architecture》。这里可以免费阅读（自由开源且不花钱），而且不长，纸质版也就 100 页左右。https://hintjens.gitbooks.io/social-architecture/content/ 其中很大篇幅都在讲如何构建一个开放的……
