> To everyone who took the time to respond, your responses were outstanding; if only a short and sweet additional page could be added to the main OpenBSD Project WWW site (e.g., under ???Project Team??? or ???Developers") that just succinctly summarizes exactly what you all said. For ???smaller??? projects without formal governance I guess it all comes down to the people; I can see how if you have a dedicated core of really good, passionate developers formal by-laws and committees are superfluous, but then the question is how would that be sustainable over the long term other than just by manually and personally attracting and retaining the best on an ad hoc basis without a codified, structured process. But it seems to be clearly working here.

> Downloaded the macppc port of OpenBSD 6.5 to install on a couple IBM PowerPC 970/970MP-based Apple Power Mac G5 machines for a class project (I just need some decent, reliable, no-frills servers, but I wanted to try using something other than AMD64/x86-64-based machines for a change) with very low expectations (after trying to install the macppc port of a peer Noteworthy Excellent Tried-and-true BSD distribution which crashed immediately upon running ofwboot off the install ISO), but the installer Just Worked! I don???t understand how this project is able to maintain a working legacy macppc port with so few developers.
quality over quantity :)
