TWiki.net Kicks Out All TWiki Contributors 194
David Gerard noted an interesting story going down with a relatively minor project that has interesting implications for any Open Source project. He writes "Ten years ago, Peter Thoeny started the TWiki wiki engine. It attracted many contributors at twiki.org. About a year ago, Thoeny founded the startup twiki.net. On 27th October, twiki.net locked all the other contributors out of twiki.org in an event Thoeny called 'the twiki.org relaunch.' Here's the IRC meeting log. All the other core developers have now moved to a new project, NextWiki. Is it a sensible move for a venture capital firm that depends on a healthy Open Source community to lock it out?"

It looks like then that they're well on their way to becoming a respected piece of enterprise software.

True, but you should also be able to run a popular web application on something less hardened than an OpenBSD server configured by a paranoid schizophrenic.
