Choosing the Right Project

  • Clearly identify and articulate your idea first

    ‘Beginning an OSS project properly means that a developer must, first and foremost, avoid writing code too soon!’ - Monty Manley

  • Evaluate your idea with the following questions:

    • Is the free software development model really the right one for your project?

    • Is anybody else interested?

    • Has somebody already had your idea or a reasonably similar one?
