Here, you are using the word "institution" as a noun,
as in a place:
"institution. noun. 1: an establishment consisting of
a building or complex of buildings where an
organization for the promotion of some cause is
situated"
But, the 'cathedral organization' refers to the
organization of people and the _way_ they work. We are
not referring here about physical material, it is how
people interact in project development. In a cathedral
structure, a software engineer may not even have a
say, and the project leader and project manager make
design decisions. But, in a 'bazaar organization' each
one has a say and there is a "maintainer" who
maintains and patches the code.
Well, this list is supported by iit-m :)
Again, this has nothing to do with the organization of
people.
Regards,
K Shakthi
