The Cathedral and the Bazaar is a document (http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/) (now also a book (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cathbazpaper/)) by Eric S. Raymond (http://www.catb.org/~esr/) (aka ESR) that basically compares two models of Getting Stuff Done.
The title is, I venture to say, moderately well-known in geekdom, even amongst those who haven't read the document, and was one of the first things I could come up with when associating "programming" and "church vocabulary".
I think that maybe I have stepped into a world of journals owned by people that have a wee bit more brain power than I.
Hmm... not so much brain power but having been exposed to certain things that could be considered in-jokes. I think it's mostly what you've been around than how intelligent you are.
