Project Harmony 1.0 and its discontents
Harmony remains controversial; see these responses by Bradley
Kuhn, Richard
Fontana, and Dave
Neary. Quoting Richard: "Despite my admiration, respect and
affection for those who have been driving Harmony, I cannot endorse the
product of their work. I believe Harmony is unnecessary, confusing, and
potentially hazardous to open source and free software development.

I think I am probably a discontent myself on the issue, so it adequately describes me. It's really been Fontana's articulations of the inbound=outbound issue and why it's central to software freedom culture that have pushed me in that direction over the years.

Wikipedia tells me that the original German title was _Das Unbehagen in der Kultur_ which apparently translates to "The Uneasiness in Culture".

Yeah, I've read it, but it was in 1993. ISTR discontents
referred to the mental pain and anguish daily life oppressed upon the middle class because they must resist their baser needs and desires. Reading over my class notes from the time seem to indicate that's correct. (Yes, I still have them.)
