 Assuming you're trying to build a large, effective organization, how do
you do it without some level of internal competition? I've worked for some
relatively touchy-feely companies (*cough* Linden Lab) that prided
themselves on being "flat", but eventually I realized they were just
keeping all the politics quiet and subtle. Meanwhile, people worked on
"fun" stuff and added neat but unimportant features to Second Life while
neglecting its stability and maintainability, with the ultimate result that
instead of trying to improve it, New Improved Corporate Linden Lab has
decided (probably correctly) to do a complete rewrite in the form of
Sansar. CouchIO had similar problems trying to essentially be a distributed
open source project with money.

But maybe it's not necessary to build large organizations in the first
place? I'd love to believe this. Perhaps something like the contract market
in Earthweb is the way to go.
