Talk:Upstream (software development)

IIRC, the terms upstream/downstream are also used for something i'd call the responsibility path in an open and separated software development process (i.e. the core developer group of a software project is in upstream direction from a distributer of the software). I'm not absolutely sure if this convention is common enough to go into wp. --85.72.38.226, 12:02, 20 Oct 2005 (UTC)

It seems to me that this the term is used often enough to be relevant for inclusion which is why I took the liberty to add it. --Abraxa 13:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a definition of upstream/downstream in RFC2616, which relates to the direction in which data is flowing for HTTP Chrisg67 14:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
