Research and find out what you can about "Cathedral vs the bazaar". Tell me in your own words what it is and why it might be important.

Cathedral vs the Bazaar started as an essay and is now a book by Eric S. Raymond.

Cathedral is a an open code, but is for a limited number of people to play with and fix.

Bazaar is an open code, but anyone can play and fix.

They are both important as fixes can be done relatively quickly and people that really know what they are doing can develop programs quickly.

My question is what about the bad people. They can get in and screw everything up??
