IBM is fully aware that places like DeveloperWorks and SourceForge
exist. The prevalent view is that such places tend to end up being
fishbowls whereby developers can work and be observed. By contrast, the
ASF is viewed as a place to build a diverse and sustainable community.
This discussion, the attendant angst and so called "overhead", are
