Coordinating Open-Source Software Development
- In the recent years a form of software development that was previously dismissed as too ad-hoc and chaotic for serious projects has suddenly taken the front stage. With products such as Apache, Linux, Perl, and others, open-source software has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional approaches to software development. With its globally distributed developer force and extremely rapid code evolution, open source is arguably the extreme in "virtual software projects" [1], and exemplifies many of the advantages and challenges of distributed software development.
