First it's goals, from the about page
Project Zero has two, somewhat conflicting, goals of providing a powerful development and execution platform for modern web applications while at the same time having the overall experience be radically simple.
Secondly the manner in which the project leads are looking to build the platform.
This community is an experiment in a new way to build commercial software, an approach we are currently calling Community-Driven Commercial Development.
The goals is one that is hard to argue against. Who doesn't want development to be more efficient?
The manner in which the platform is being built isn't entirely out in left field either. A lot of open source software has been community driven development. It is the word commercial that gives it a twist. So being a community, how does one contribute?
(from the Project Zero FAQ emphasis mine)
Can I contribute to Project Zero?
IBM is following a Community Driven Commercial Development process for Project Zero. Contributions in the form of feedback are welcome and encouraged from everyone. As the Zero Community grows, there will be a facility to share reusable components (libraries, widgets, services, etc.) for the benefit of the community members and Project Zero. Contributions to the Zero Core are limited to approved IBM committers. Others may propose changes to the Zero Core, but the changes must be approved and committed by IBM. All intellectual property on such suggestions is owned by IBM.
I haven't had time to give the project site or technology a solid review however what I did see I found interesting enough to recommend that others take a look around and form their own opinions on both the technology and the way IBM is investing (and offering a chance for you to make a donation) in Project Zero's growth.
