Hot off the press on Sun Developer Network is Gary Williams's article, Perspectives on Quality Assurance for OpenDS, an eye-opening commentary on how quality is achieved in OpenDS, Sun's open-source project for developing a next-generation directory service. The details focus on the opportunities, challenges, roles, guidelines, tools, and so forth.

The article reminded me of a Winslow Homer quote: "Talent! What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous hard work in the right way." A salute to Gary and his team.
