That's exactly why I am a big fan of open source right from beginning. It allows others to discover your ideas, thoughts and beginnings. They can share their thoughts and ideas or findings.
Sometimes someone knows something so you don't need to build the stuff on your own. And others might join your efforts to build something cool.
I never did something private first until it is "ready". But I gave up in that topic...
@wouterj @jaapio crazy idea, but why does Symfony not publish about plans for new components, and invite the wider community to collaborate? Instead right now, the new components are announced when they are done and it is a surprise to "competing" component maintainers. This results in comments about Symfony's NIH syndrome that, while perhaps not the best way to communicate this, I can honestly understand. That is by now my default response as well when I see something like this.
