Qt: Bootstrapping openness

Robin Burchell presents an interesting view on how to (and how to not) encourage contribution to your project with a glimpse into Qt's processes and areas where they may not be choosing the best course. Time you save not maintaining it now (and encouraging potential contributors/future maintainers along the way) is spent being forced to put the code on life support maintenance if you decide you want that code, for whatever reason, later on. A thought provoking point that will hopefully be heard by the right ears.
