Open source efforts have led to the development of sendmail and Linux [7]. The Slashdot.org community and site is a vital source of technical information for software developers. Other sites serve as clearinghouses for information on various topics of professional and personal interest. Obtaining these benefits is not always easy, however. One of the co founders of ....

....third approach to the knowledge acquisition problem, one with the potential to greatly speed the spread of AI. The open source software movement, enabled by the Internet, has shown that it is possible to develop very high quality software by accumulating contributions from thousands of volunteers [17] . This surprising outcome, exemplified by the success of the Linux operating system, is relevant to the construction of large scale knowledge bases. If the work of a large number of volunteers can be properly coordinated, knowledge bases as large as Cyc or larger can be built in a much shorter ....

The Importance of Open Source Open source development processes have emerged as an effective approach [OpenSource] to reduce cycle time and decrease design, implementation, and quality assurance costs for certain types of software, particularly systems infrastructure software, such as operating systems, compilers and language processing tools, editors, and middleware. This section describes the reasons why ....

.... of interest (e.g. software release announcements or problem reports) These modes of participation are not uncommon, and are cited as one way how project newcomers can join in and learn the domain language and issues, with minimal bother or distraction of those doing the core development effort [11, 29, 32]. Social interaction among open software project participants may rarely, if ever, be face to face or colocated in most open source development efforts. However, real world events like professional conferences may enable distant collaborators to meet, interact with, and learn about one another, ....

....that were described were obvious to the reader. This might be true for those scholars and students of software requirements engineering who have already participated in open software projects. However, advocates of open source software do not identify or report on the processes described here [11, 29, 32]. Thus, we must ask what is obvious to whom, and on what source of knowledge or experience is it based For the majority of students who have not participated, it is disappointing to not find such descriptions, processes, or artifacts within the classic or contemporary literature on requirements ....

The existence of many Bug Reporters assures the high quality of OSS, because given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. [16] Reader. Readers are active users of the system; they not only use the system, but also try to understand how the system works by reading the source code. Given the high quality of OSS systems, some Readers read the systems to learn programming. Another group of Readers exists who read an OSS ....

.... Although they do not directly contribute to the development of the system technically, their very existence contributes socially and psychologically by attracting and motivating other, more active, members, to whom a large population of users is the utmost reward and flattery of their hard work [16]. Metaphorically speaking, those Passive Users play a role similar to that of the audience in a theatrical performance who offers values, recognition, and applause to the efforts of actors. Each OSS community has a unique structure depending on the nature of the system and its member population. ....

....The Linux Support project at SRA provides user support for the Linux operating system, excluding the Linux kerne l. We make this distinction because, similar to GNU, the Linux kernel development is under centralized control, while the remainder of Linux has been developed in the bazaar style [16] with decentralized control. The Linux support project supports the bazaar model, and accordingly in this paper when we refer to Linux we are referring to the portions of Linux outside the kernel unless specifically noted. Contrary to the GNU programs, multiple versions of programs for the same ....

....most information regarding PostgreSQL is written in English. The SRA PostgreSQL project helps them by translating English documents into Japanese. For PostgreSQL, the biggest advantage of being open source is that people can find bugs more quickly bugs become shallow with enough eyeballs [16]. Most users in the PostgreSQL community contribute by testing and finding bugs through examining the source code, rather than writing code. Another interesting aspect of the PostgreSQL project comes from the fact that the software is a database system. When reporting a bug, it is often ....

Open source software, such as Linux [Linux] and Apache [Apache] helps in the way to a worldwide distribution and let the community grow very fast. As also stated in [Raymond99]: Internet enabled collaboration and free information sharing, not monopolistic control, is the key to innovation and product quality. the way of thinking on open source becomes more importance since the mid nineties.

.... system to enable programmers to access the source code of a component with one command, as well as to explore new mechanisms and supporting interfaces that encourage and enable programmers to contribute the modified components back into the repository so that other programmers can reuse them[21]. The two essential challenges we face in supporting this continuous evolution [9] of component repositories by programmers are: 1) how to minimize the extra effort required of contributing programmers by automating the contribution process as much as possible, and (2) how to assure the quality ....

....only very few components are accompanied by examples, and creating examples for each component is a time consuming task that increases the difficulty and cost of setting up a component repository. As a response to this issue, we added the Illustrator agent to explore the decentralized approach [9, 21] to enrich the component repository by supporting the location of examples developed by peer programmers. RELATED WORK Most reusable component repository systems [10, 17] have been developed as standalone systems. CodeBroker distinguishes itself by using the information delivery mechanism to ....

The combination of many measures work together to optimize the feedback. This method advocate cycle times of 2 weeks to obtain this. The Open Source model [5], as far as you can speak of one model, is also based on small steps, with a massive amount of feedback per step. 5 Conclusions The conclusions of this paper are given here as a set of position statements: 1.

PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE With the emergence of Open Source Software (OSS) development [6, 7] as an alternative approach in building software systems, it is interesting to investigate whether software architecture still plays as prominent a role in the OSS development as in the traditional or proprietary software development. At its root, the popular OSS definition makes the distinction ....

....distinction between proprietary software development and OSS as being a centralised vs. decentralised software development argument, where the process of carefully controlling the construction of software is replaced by a rapid evolutionary process of voluntary submissions from all over the world [7]. Although a rapid, decentralised, and participative approach is not unique to OSS development, it does pose fundamental architectural considerations for the development of software systems. However, OSS also presents a different attitude towards software development. By giving away the source ....

Breakthrough improvement involves dramatic and relatively impromptu changes [21] Evidence of this form of product improvement in open source development was provided by Raymond [5] in the development of Fetchmail.

Our research is primarily concerned with the cognitive and social challenges of reuse [8, 46] Software developers are unable to, or unwilling, to reuse if they do not know the existence of reusable components or do not know how to locate, understand, and use them. Many reuse research efforts ....

....respected source. To answer this question, we need to investigate the social aspects of software reuse, such as what makes software developers trust a component and how to involve them in the evolution of the reuse repository to complement, or even replace, a dedicated team of component developers [10, 33]. 6. RELATED WORK Most of the previous research on reuse repositories has focused on the indexing and retrieval mechanisms. Different mechanisms, such as free text retrieval [27] multi facets classification [32] semantic networks [5] spreading activation [19] behavior sampling [18] ....

Fortunately, open source has proven to be an effective development process in many other software application domains [Raymond01]. The Skoll project described in this paper is leveraging key aspects of open source development, such as its worldwide user communities, open access to source code, and ubiquitous web access, to further improve the quality and performance of open source software. A particularly important strength ....

That is, a user must always be able to look under the hood and be allowed to tune, adapt, or evolve a ....
