Use to be that if there was a nice open source project that solved most of a problem you had, you'd jump on, if you had the ability, and contribute back to it. Now I guess we just wait for random handouts from big companies so we don't have to do any work ourselves. Bit of a shame, the appification of open source, but I guess that's where it's going. Big and supported, with no room for newcomers. I wonder how this is much different than what people say about net neutrality? Once the big guys are there, they'll actively do what they can to kick the latter down so no upstarts can chase them up it, and I guess this is just as true of the web. Hope we can find a big company to release us an open source web replacement one of these decades, since I guess we won't be able to band together and build it for ourselves.
