Lineo and Cosource.com Collaborate on Open Source Development Tools Enhancement

Lineo and Cosource.com have successfully completed their first joint open source project, integrating the htDig search engine with Kdevelop, a leading open source development environment for Linux. Lineo provided the majority of the funding for the project, which is now publicly available under open source licensing. This collaboration provides companies like Lineo access to a world-wide talent pool of open source developers through Cosource.com's reverse-auction market. The success of this project marks a new methodology for developing custom software and highlights the importance of collaboration in the open source community.
