Wiggins, Andrea, and Kevin Crowston. “Reclassifying Success and Tragedy in FLOSS Projects”. 2010. Proceedings of the International Conference on Open Source Systems (OSS), 2010.
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a replication of English & Schweik’s 2007 paper classifying FLOSS projects according to their stage of growth and indicators of success. We recreated the analysis using a comparable data set from 2006, with one additional point in time. We also expanded upon the original results by applying different criteria for evaluating the rate of new software releases for sustainability of project activity.
