Therefore, software sustainability is a key concern. This site wants to help on this.\u00a0But beyond being sustainable, software should also be enjoyable or people will stop using it. This implies software must be correct, usable, respond to the users’ needs and evolve accordingly.<\/p>\n
The only way to achieve\u00a0both goals is to make sure we build a community around the software where all members participate and contribute to the definition and development of such software. Same as with cities but in a digital world.\u00a0We have been working to have livable cities to live in. It’s now time to focus on filling them with livable software.<\/p>\n
