If you haven't read them already I suggest having a look at Marc Kirschner and John Gerhart' <a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/95/15/8420.abstract" rel="nofollow">paper</a> in PNAS and <a href="http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.biochem.75.103004.142710" rel="nofollow">this</a> review about protein modularity and evolution of signalling. There are many analogies from biological evolution that could be informative.

You rarely -- if ever -- encounter a project nowadays that doesn't use bugzilla or a similar system. I've created so many bugzilla accounts over the last six or seven years that I've lost track. As a serial early adopter of open source projects (I'm still not sure why I feel the compulsion to build new versions of software so often -- I'm not a programmer, and it's not a very productive way to spend my time) I try to file as many bugs as possible. This is where systems like bugzilla are *really* useful: they provide a way for thousands of interested users to contribute to a project, even if they don't know how to code.
