	Financing Volunteer Free Software Projects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As free software has been commercialized, paid labor has taken up an increasingly important role in the free software world and many free software projects today are built as works for hire and are released by corporations.
		For most free software practitioners, institutional independence also implies that there is less potential for one company or group to "corner" or enclose a market or to create a dependence on their company: a result that that users find attractive.
		Projects raise funding through the goodwill generated by the work of the entire project and using that funding to pay a small subset of volunteers can be extremely divisive.

	STSC CrossTalk - Why Big Software Projects Fail: The 12 Key Questions - Mar 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The principal questions concern why large software projects are hard to manage, the kinds of management systems needed, and the actions required to implement such systems.
		Software project failures are common, and the biggest projects fail most often.
		Since large projects still do not succeed even with all of the project management improvements of the last several years, one begins to wonder if large-scale software projects are inherently unmanageable.

	How To Outsource Software Development and Hire Freelance Programmers: Commentary, Tips, and Best Practices
		No matter how uncomfortable managing a software project makes you, the reality is it has to be done, and it has to be done by you.
		You have the final say about what the project is. Giving that job to the programmer is like letting the fox guard the hen house (no, I'm not saying that programmers are sly like foxes, many just need to be properly managed).
		This is a huge problem, because the beginning stages of a software project are critical to its long term success.

	FSF - The Free Software Foundation
		This project will bring together organizations, software developers, and software users from around the globe during 2006, in an effort to update the world's most popular free software license.
		The commencement of the GNU project in 1984, with its goal to give users freedom, required the establishment of new distribution terms that would prevent the project being turned into proprietary software.
		The Free Software Directory was started in September 1999 to catalog all useful free software that runs under free operating systems.

	Best Practices for Software Development Projects
		In fact, the Standish group reports that over 80% of projects are unsuccessful either because they are over budget, late, missing function, or a combination.
		Moreover, 30% of software projects are so poorly executed that they are canceled before completion.
		Given the number of other checklists and tip sheets for project management, it is surprising how many project managers are not aware of them and do not apply lessons learned from previous projects, such as: "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail." One way to manage a difficult project is through timeboxing.

	Problems and Strategies in Financing Voluntary Free Software Projects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In these ways and others, many voluntary free software projects find themselves face to face with the reality that it is often easier for a successful volunteer free software project to get money than it is to spend it.
		These include the tendancy of paid labor to crowd out volunteers, the negative impact of paid labor on the transparency of free software projects, and a general degradation in the quality of the software produced.
		The Free and Open Source Software movements are parallel movements with a complex relationship and history outside the scope of this essay.

	Amazon.com: Surviving Object-Oriented Projects (Agile Software Development Series): Books: Alistair Cockburn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As the use of object technology has become increasingly widespread and mainstream, a growing number of project managers are faced with a daunting task: keeping the object technology project on track and within budget.
		These project managers are burdened by the weight of knowing that the survival and ultimate success of the project hinges on their insight when planning the project and their responses to events that lie ahead.
		Several projects are examined, some of which were successes, others which were simply survived by the participants and a few that crashed and burned.

	FSF - High Priority Free Software Projects
		There is a vital need to draw the free software community's attention to the ongoing development work on these particular projects.
		These projects are important because computer users are continually being seduced into using non-free software, because there is no adequate free replacement.

	Painless Software Schedules - Joel on Software
		Netscape has seen its browser share go from about 80% to about 20% during this time, all the while it could do nothing to address competitive concerns, because their key software product was disassembled in 1000 pieces on the floor and was in no shape to drive anywhere.
		I've found that with software, the dependencies are so obvious that it's just not worth the effort to formally keep track of them.
		Another problem with Project is that it assumes that you're going to want to be able to press a little button and "rebalance" the schedule.
