 The OpenBSD Project is noted for its high @-@ quality user documentation , considered top among the BSD family operating systems , all of which have excellent documentation . When OpenBSD was created , de Raadt decided that the source should be easily available for anyone to read at any time , so , with the assistance of Chuck Cranor , he set up the first public , anonymous CVS server . At the time , the tradition was for only a small team of developers to have access to a project 's source repository . Cranor and de Raadt concluded that this practice " runs counter to the open source philosophy " and is inconvenient to contributors . De Raadt 's decision allowed " users to take a more active role " , and signaled the project 's belief in open and public access to source code .
