I believe this is partly to the fact that Stendhal is completely free: Client, Server, Graphics, everything. One the one hand it does mean that there are no hidden costs, no subscription fees. On the other hand it means that it is very easy to contribute. A number of companies have released GPL versions of their clients. But the most fun, of course, is contributing to the heart of the software, the server side.

I believe it fills a niche. Companies that want to run their GPS tracking service behind their own firewalls, and be able to modify the code to fit their specific requirements.
We strongly believe in "[http://catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/ar01s04.html Release early, release often]". So contributors can see the fruits of their work quickly. And players see the progress we make in extending the world.

And last but not least: Stendhal has a great and very helpful community.
