Elsewhere on our site you can find articles describing some of the many formal approaches to evaluating open source software as part of the Software Sustainability Maturity Model."

I propose that wherever possible work is organized using these ideas and mechanisms.

This way, work is done by those who need the results and they are motivated as in open source projects."
