Canadian researcher Michelle Levesque has thoroughly examined an Open 
Source Project (which she kept anonymous) and found "the five most 
important flaws with Open Source software development to be as follows:
1) User interface design
2) Documentation
3) Feature-centric development
4) Programming for the self
5) Religious blindness"

Has someone an idea what "Project X" could be? At first sight, I thought 
of the ALSA Project or The Gimp, but Project X seems to come with a 
calendar ...
