key success factors of the linux community, what to take for wikipedia

linus torvalds created a community of programmers working on the linux kernel 1991. the community grew since then to nowadays 5'000 commits a month, 5 times more than 10 years ago. alone the linux kernel mailing list receives more than 20'000 messages a month, 3 times more than 10 years ago. innovative technologies are added to the kernel first from universities, individuals, companies, bearing the GPL. what do you see as the key success factors of that development, and what can you take off that into your work at wikipedia? --ThurnerRupert (talk) 15:28, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

The knowledge I have about the Linux kernel, and it's associated mailing list could be written on a grain of rice, thus I do not have any opinion of its success factors, or how they shall be brought into my work on Wikipedia. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 02:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
