"Many people think that open source projects are sort of chaotic and and anarchistic. They think that developers randomly throw code at the code base and see what sticks"

About this Quote

This quote by Mitchell Baker recommends that lots of people have a misunderstanding about open source tasks. They think that these projects are chaotic and anarchistic, with designers arbitrarily throwing code at the code base and seeing what works. However, this is not the case. Open source projects are really extremely organized and collective, with developers working together to produce an effective product. Designers need to follow certain requirements and guidelines, and their code should be evaluated and approved by other developers before it is accepted into the code base. This makes sure that the code is of high quality and that the task is successful. Open source tasks are not disorderly and anarchistic, however rather extremely organized and collaborative.
