CLONED: The Future is Community

Under the new paradigm, the first three options are still viable, but there’s a new, exciting option to replace the fourth. With the open-source model, you log on to the nonprofit community Web site and download the mobile-access widget developed by someone else. If no one has posted this widget, you ask community members if anyone has and will share this functionality. If not, you collaborate with other community members to build the product or even share the costs of outsourcing development. Then you share it with the community because other organizations might need it, too.
