There is a constant drumbeat to expand the number of
developers.
To quote Chris DiDona, Danese Cooper, and Mark Stone
(Open Sources 2.0
ISBN 0-596-00802-3, pXXVIII):
Brooks' Law appears to set a fundamental limit on the
optimal
size of programming teams -- and a rather small limit
at that.
Empirical evidence supports Brooks's Law. For example,
since
its inception SourceForge.net has maintained very
close to a
10:1 ratio of registered users to registered projects,
suggesting
that open source development projects seldom have more
than
10 active developers.
