Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2004 3:14 pm
Moin!
In our university project about Cooperative Development we´re trying to analyze different types of open source projects, that are developed per internet in a cooperative way. Our interest ist to analyze, why projects fail, some fork (eg. X11) and some become quite popular (eg Wiki). We´re more interested in the formal and non-formal organisation than in tools. To get some idea about organisation I want to know how you work. I`ve pinned some criterias we talked about. I guessed some. Please comment on these.
-Number of developers:
I guess aprox. 6 Progs, 3 Graph
-Number of community members (active, doing tests, suggestions):
??no guess??
-Age: ~2years?
-Type: Hobby project, open group
-Finances: low costs, webspace paid by leading members??
-Aim: Stands on top of your site
-Organisation: Quite informal??
-Important tools: phpBB, CVS, Sourceforge
Please tell me some about problems, if there have been/are some.
