I love to see the cross-pollination of ideas between open source projects, and the clever ways they can be adapted from one paradigm to another. For example, recent versions of OpenOffice.org have become more like web browsers, especially Firefox, as OOo introduced its Extensions features, as developers have worked to provide wiki-capabilities, and now, as a [...]
