Usability and open-source software development
Article exploring open source software usability.
Usability and open-source software development David M
Abstract Open-source is becoming an increasingly popular software development method
This paper reports a usability study of the open-source Greenstone Digital Library collection-building software
The problems highlighted by the study are analysed to identify their likely source within the social context of Greenstones development environment
We discuss how characteristics of open-source software development influence the usability of resulting software products
Introduction Open-source is becoming an increasingly popular software development method, producing successful software such as the Linux operating system and the Apache web server
Open-source software is popular with technically sophisticated users, who are often also the software developers, and has not yet made a significant impact on the desktop of most users
This paper starts to address this issue through a usability study of the open-source Greenstone Digital Library Software
The inter-disciplinary nature of Greenstones target users provide an interesting (and relatively rare) test case for the generality of open-source development methods

OPEN SOURCE AND THESE UNITED STATES by C
Its success depends on the uninhibited distribution of the currency of this realm: the source code, documentation and data which are the building blocks of complex information systems
To enhance collaboration and protect its creators, cutting edge source code is commonly released under open source licensing
Over the last forty years, open source software has proliferated and come to dominate many important market segments
Christine Peterson of the , the term Open Source has become a hot topic in the commercial world; it's made headlines in major newspapers, the cover of Forbes and many other national magazines
Open Source is a big thing
Open licensing of source code and documentation is a legal construct like a copyright
Back in the early days of punch cards & magnetic core virtually all software was open source
In a proprietary environment where only a few people are allowed access to source code and documentation, this is a major problem
Within the open source community, this process of developing systems in a cooperative environment and sharing the results of a team's work with others, has been coined 'the bazaar'

How Open Source Development Could Change the Way We Get Things Done
A feature story from the Washington Monthly.
March 2000 Reboot! How Linux and open-source development could change the way we get things done By An army of disheveled computer programmers has built an operating system called Linux based on a business model that seems to have been written with everything but business in mind
The Source The Linux movement kick-started in 1991 when Linus Torvalds, a puckish graduate student at the University of Helsinki, got frustrated with his rickety computer
It's also open source, meaning that the source code, the program's all-important DNA, is open for anyone to look at, test, and modify
Most software is developed so that only the original authors can examine and change the code; with open-source models, however, anyone can do it if they have a computer and the right intuition
Since you've never seen the source code, it probably doesn't even occur to you that you could fix the problem at its root
An equivalent would be if I were to write the following at the end of this article: 'Verbatim copying and redistribution of this entire article is permitted in any medium provided this notice remains at the end.' Use the Source From the Oxford English Dictionary to hip-hop music, open-source development has always been with us to some degree

Guardian Unlimited - Wikipedia's success
Summary primarily of the positive aspects and milestones of the online encyclopedia.
To its fans, it is a fantastic research resource - albeit one that you should use with caution; and an incredible example of what can be achieved by collaboration and cooperation over the internet
But in the topics I know something about, I've found Wikipedia to be as accurate as any other source I've found
The roots of Wikipedia lie in the open source software movement, which took off in the early 90s with the development of Linux, a free version of the Unix computer operating system
The programmer and author Eric Raymond analysed the Linux phenomenon in his 1997 paper, The Cathedral and the Bazaar, which has since become the manifesto for the open source movement
The open source community he wrote, 'seemed to resemble a great babbling bazaar of differing agendas and approaches ..

Open Source Software and Documents: A Literature and Online Resource Review April 5, 2000 Introduction Open source software (OSS) and open source documents (OSD) are a rising star in technology today
The term 'open source' was coined merely two years ago (1998) , and is now a media buzzword (Raymond, 205)
With its rapidly growing market share and corporate and public interest to match, open source as a concept will not stay a fringe phenomenon for long; in fact, it is rapidly entering the mainstream
This literature and online resource review is a starting point for anyone interested in the subject
The Open Source Revolution Since open source is relatively novel (as far as the mainstream, non-hacker culture is concerned) and largely exists online, there are only two printed works on the subject-and most of the material in these two books is also freely available online
One of the things that make the open source movement so unusual is that as it has developed over the last twenty years or so, it has done little self-documenting
This is one reason that , self-appointed chief advocate for open source, wrote his now-famous essay ESR (as the hacker community refers to Mr
