Hostile takeover of Open Source Project TWiki

Yesterday, 2008-10-27: 21:00 GMT, just a minute before the regular TWiki release meeting, the company TWIKI.NET announced unilaterally that the best for the TWiki.org project would be for them to take over governance. With it comes a complete lock down of the community site. From that minute on, all long-time contributors have lost access to their code. Counter-reaction: the community has left the building, leaving TWIKI.NET without a contributing community. Question: is it a sensible move for a venture capital firm that depends on a healthy Open Source community to lock it out?

Classification in Plain English

You probably already know the famous "... in plain english" videos by Lee LeFever like Wikis in Plain English. Okay, here's one other, this time not by Lee. That's an original by Ernie and Bert on the Sesame Street. Ernie is trying to group toys to decide who is going to clear the mess. Well, just see how he fails to come up with a classification to make it a fair job.
