• You can choose up to 10 software projects.
  • Each project receives 10 years of development time as if all the programmers worked continuously for that duration, following their current working methods.
  • After choosing these 10 (or less) projects, everything else remains unchanged in the world, as if time has been frozen for 10 years.

Which projects do you choose?

    If I’m thinking about projects that could benefit the most from an exponential increase in active developers:

    • Wine/Proton (could have a fantastic windows runtime on every *nix platform)
    • ReactOS (lot of potential for a windows 7/10 upgrade path)
    • Mozilla Firefox (would help with API parity with chromium)
    • GIMP (but only if they agree to change the stupid name)

    The rest goes to package managers and other lower-level projects that don’t get enough of a spotlight, maybe Brew or Curl or something.
