Integration, Integration, Integration
Reuven Lerner has a good post over on OStatic about how Open Source’s strength is in integrating with other systems, even legacy and proprietary system.
Of course, integrating Open Source with other Open Source apps is easiest, IMO, even if the documentation isn’t the best. In my experience, the documentation for Open Source is usually better for proprietary apps (go ahead, prove me wrong! That what the comments section is for) even if the documentation is “just” the source code.
My favorite Open Source tool for integration is, of course, Perl, the Glue of The Internet.
What’s yours?
