摘要
This paper presents results from research into open source projects from a software engineering perspective. The research methodology employed relies on public data retrieved from the C VS repository of the GNOME project and relevant discussion groups. This methodology is described, and results concerning the special characteristics of open source software development are,given. These data are used for a first approach to estimating the total effort to be expended.
