The most interesting thing about working with Utopian is that it is an entire ecosystem, and really shows the viability of the fact that traditional commerce-based development paradigms are not the only way. In fact, Utopian is actually a reflection of the ethos behind Stallman's legendary push for FLOSS. It reminds me of communal gardening, in that it takes a whole community to raise some vegetables. Open source is not about leaning back and watching while others pull the weeds and sing to the tomatoes.
