Cathedrals have not usually been built by top down design, as Eric Raymond assumed. Like the bazaar, they are made from the commons—the overlapping tradition, creativity, and agency distributed across a community.
Unlike the bazaar, they invite people into an interest bigger than themselves.
@ntnsndr One pertinent example would be La Sagrada Família in #Barcelona - which has an extremely rich and highly relevant history.
