cathedral

( n.,adj.)

   [see  {bazaar}  for  derivation]  The  `classical'  mode  of software
   engineering long thought to be necessarily implied by {Brooks's Law}.
   Features  small  teams,  tight  project  control,  and  long  release
   intervals.  This  term  came  into  use  after  analysis of the Linux
   experience  suggested  there  might  be  something wrong (or at least
   incomplete) in the classical assumptions.
