Best software communities?

(1/2) > >>

zridling:
There are quite a few communities and services built around software (notably extensions and plugins). For example, Firefox and Opera provide skins and extensions; WordPress has themes and plugins; Drupal is essentially is built for extensibility; and Eclipse has just about anything you can build on top of the platform. Extensibility alone is a major factor in the success of many open source projects.


And then there are behemoths like Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS and Directory Opus, each of whose communities contribute a large share to their success.

So which software apps/projects have the best supported and most vibrant communities?

I'll second that. FARR is the best by....umm... far?
(OMG!!! Cranioscopical's rubbing off on me!!! ;D)

2nd best is probably Ubuntu.

3rd place goes to Debian.

Yea, I should have certainly included DC's donationware. There's no better feedback mechanism online than here.
