This is still a weak point. What are the options to run an OS project |
| 10 |
sucessfully? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1.) The field is small and can be covered by a single person. -> |
| 13 |
cdrecord from Jörg Schilling |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2.) The field is wide and there is a strong community behind. -> Gentoo |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
3.) The field ist wide and there is a working commercial model -> Redhat, Cygwin |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
x.) There are some others. |

My very subjective estimations: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Briegel looks like type 3. Needs a working company structure, then |
| 24 |
there could be money in it. Are you prepared for this? QM Repository, |
| 25 |
not standalone, but as prerequest for Briegel and nourished by it. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Maybe it would be possibel to run Briegel as type 2. But a community |
| 28 |
has special prerequests to get it started, communiction, server |
| 29 |
management, events and meetings. A lot of non-programming work also |
| 30 |
for this. |
