cathedral and the bazaar : Java Glossary

cathedral and the bazaar

Eric S. Raymond’s famous essay ( and later a book) on writing open source code where he argues for full openness of the source during development. The essay contrasts two different free software development models:

The Cathedral model, in which source code is available with each software release, but code developed between releases is restricted to an exclusive group of software developers e.g. GNU (Gnu’ Not Unix!) Emacs.
The Bazaar model, in which the code is developed over the Internet in view of the public. Raymond credits Linus Torvalds, leader of the Linux kernel project, as the inventor of this process.
