Synchronous development in open-source projects: A higher-level perspective

چکیده
Abstract Mailing lists are a major communication channel for supporting developer coordination in open-source software projects. In recent study, researchers explored temporal relationships (e.g., synchronization) between activities on source code and the mailing list, relying simple heuristics of collaboration co-editing files) sending e-mails to list). We propose two methods studying synchronization from higher-level perspective, which captures complex views developers more precisely than rather technical perspective previous work. On one hand, we explore at level features (not files), concepts domain not mere artifacts. other lift view message-based model, treats each e-mail individually, conversation-based is semantically richer due grouping that represent conceptually related discussions. By means an empirical investigate whether different abstraction levels affect observed relationship commit activity using state-of-the-art time-series analysis. For this purpose, analyze combined history 40 years data three highly active widely deployed projects: QEMU , BusyBox OpenSSL . Overall, found evidence leads identifying stronger statistical dependence less abstract view.

متن کاملIntegrating HCI Specialists into Open Source Software Development Projects
Typical open source software (OSS) development projects are organized around technically talented developers, whose communication is based on technical aspects and source code. Decision-making power is gained through proven competence and activity in the project, and non-technical enduser opinions are too many times neglected. In addition, also human-computer interaction (HCI) specialists have ...
