This is the concept that desparately needs to be clarified. My attempt might not be perfect, but it is a good start.


 * Delete. Sense lost in translation? -- Zigger 20:33, 2004 Apr 21 (UTC)
 * Delete. If there's anything to be salvaged from this one sentence, it can be added to open source. And there's not much sense in internet democracy either. And Open-Source Government. Can all these please be rationalised? sjorford 10:04, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * You might be right it should be about open source. But open source is already linked too hard to software development, ignoring the pure essence. That is not good, because it leaves people miss the clear point of this idea. That is the reason I felt an urge to introduce open source concept as the essence of the open source, that has to be linked to open source software development and other things that use thsi pricniple.

 * Delete. Useless as-is, and anything it could conceivably be expanded to belongs in existing articles on open source. Jeeves 01:53, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. The argument you are using is the same one as if I decided not to put a steering drive as a new term, because we are allready talking about cars, airplanes etc. Makes no sense for any reasonable mind.
 * Keep. open source concept is the basic principle of all open structures that got their true life through the Internet. It can be thought of as an essence of open source or Open-Source Government because these two things are just a product of this principle.
 * Keep. Sure, maybe the name is not ideal but I think he's got a point. It IS important to differentiate an underlaying concept from it's instances.
 * Comment: Unsigned votes and those from anons are not normally counted, and these last three votes are both. Create a userid if you wish to contribute to VfD. If you have a good contribution history (and there's provision for getting credit for anonymous edits you do before creating the user id) then your opinion will count far more here.

 * Delete - just a list of links (claiming to be examples) - delete or merge with Open source - T&#949;x &#964; ur&#949; 15:38, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
