Instead of developing seperate code bases, why don't the developers work together (it's not like there's a profit motive here...). At most, I could see 2 or 3 major competitors in the open source BBS market.



Most developers don't care about profit, but they all have their own coding style, sure most look and perform the same way, but that's because most coding has to be done a certain way for it to work right. If all of the Free BBS developers worked together, it would probably come out looking horrible because of the fact that they all have their own style when it comes to coding. There would also be the factor of Perl developers, unless the board developed both a PHP and Perl version of their script, the Perl Developers would probably be left 'Useless' unless they were accomplished graphics makers in which case they could make the graphics for the board/project. That's my take on it at least...
