add to in_the_news?
Thoughts on including URL's for those articles discussing the source code
release of netscape navigator which mention Apache on the in_the_news.html
page? So far I have articles from wired, news.com, and wsj.com...

But a very talented and focused 'tiny number', with a much larger and also
talented 'peer review' group. The result is excellence that is almost
impossible to duplicate within a traditional corporate structure.
Have a look at http://www.ccil.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-paper.html

I must be missing this army wherever it is.
Apache has a tiny number of active developers for the number of users.

Even though I have no real say in the matter, I'd suggest that you add
these links if they actually say something about Apache, rather than
just mentioning it in passing as a piece of free software.
There's also an article from ZDNet, which I found from My Yahoo:
http://headlines.yahoo.com/zdnews/stories/885575313.html
The relevant quote:
"Take a look at how successful Apache [is] based on an army of unpaid
developers. Netscape will tap into that same army," Smith said. "This
potentially can negate Microsoft's tremendous resource advantage. That
was a brilliant strategic move."
