The process of open source software (OSS) development may be the same the formation of wisdom in crowds. In this paper, we propose a web community to support the development OSS. They include the 4 factors in wisdom of crowds - diversity of opinion, independence, decentralization, and aggregation. Also, this system invites light users without software skills development to explore different approaches and opinions.We propose a method by which keep the diverse of opinions the group is organized to include variety of different opinions using self-organizing maps (SOM). Further, while organizing then using SOM analyses, the performance of this method can be evaluated.
