In this context, you might want to include something on the recent
development method called Extreme Programming. You can get a nice
introduction at http://www.extremeprogramming.org/, and find ongoing

http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?ExtremeProgramming.
(Actually, the WikiWikiWeb itself is an interesting example of a living,
evolving community information system.)
