 bazaar
 
-n.,adj. In 1997, after meditating on the success of Linux for three years,
-the Jargon File's own editor ESR wrote an analytical paper on hacker culture
-and development models titled The Cathedral and the Bazaar. The main
-argument of the paper was that Brooks's Law is not the whole story; given
-the right social machinery, debugging can be efficiently parallelized across
-large numbers of programmers. The title metaphor caught on (see also
-cathedral ), and the style of development typical in the Linux community is
-now often referred to as the bazaar mode. Its characteristics include
-releasing code early and often, and actively seeking the largest possible
-pool of peer reviewers. After 1998, the evident success of this way of doing
-things became one of the strongest arguments for open source.
+Analogy of software development methodology. Software developed in
+public according to normative FOSS praxis is said more like the
+chaotic and more organic trading style of a bazaar than the
+pristine top-down architecture of a cathedral created by visionary
+engineers. The analogy is made in a 1999 book by Eric Raymond,
+called The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
 
+Characteristics of bazaar style development include releasing code
+early and often, treating users as co-developers and making extensive
+use of internet for project communications and interaction with
+code repositories.
