A Framework for Open Source Projects

The historical roots of Open Source are outlined. A comparison between 
Open Source projects and classical projects highlights strengths and 
weaknesses of both, and defines their attributes. Existing Open Source 
theories are evaluated, and the requirements for a framework for Open 
Source projects are determined. The framework introduces the notions of 
actors, roles, areas, processes and tools, and depicts their 
interrelationships in a matrix. Each aspect of the framework is then 
further developed to serve both as a conceptual foundation for Open 
Source and a help for organizing and managing Open Source projects.
