Features, Office "Which parameters make software applications high-quality? And which parameters or methods, while desirable, are not directly 'quality'?" This is the question the author of this article asks himself. Most of his 'parameters' make a lot of sense, but be aware that the article is about what makes an open source program high quality, and not programs in general. This important bit is stated in the one-sentence 'abstract'.

I was just thinking about this as I'm skimming through the article. It is very heavily open-source biased.


Uhm, maybe that's why I explicitly mentioned that in the teaser ;) :
