<p>1. surprise, astonishment, or admiration.</p>
<p>2. indulgence in speculative inquiry, often accompanied by an element of doubt.</p>
Extracts from the 2005 O'Reilly article <a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2005/10/ofun.html">-Ofun</a>:
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>
<i>Excitement and learning are infectious.</i> It’s clear that everyone
working on [the project that gave birth to -Ofun] is having a blast ...
There’s a pervasive sense of high potential and great possibilities,
and that sense decays slowly, even during inevitable lulls.
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
Embrace anarchy. ... For a development project, <i>modern version control
systems can give you “anarchy with an audit trail”</i>.
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
<i>Cast committer rights far and wide.</i> ... [scan] a number of
technical groups 2-3 times a day trying to hand out the committer bit,
responding to people’s musings, and generally spreading awareness.
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
If invitation isn’t completely automated (as for example with a wiki),
make sure many people in different timezones have admin rights to
invite a new committer, <i>and pay attention enough to do so</i>.
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
<i>Working code is more fun than mere ideas.</i> Continuously push the
team to sketch out ideas in code, committing quick and dirty
prototypes that can be refactored as they grow. ... [if someone
is] afraid to release “not good enough” code ... [ask] can they
please put it somewhere linkable?
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
Mentoring and even <i>answering basic questions should happen
continuously</i>.
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
<i>Encourage random fun tangents</i>
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
Get every committer to add themselves to the AUTHORS file (this
is a good choice to be a new developer’s first commit)
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
<b>Turn your project into a culture, <i>one that you would like to live in</i>.</b>
