I answered the first two or three of these that was sent to me (student studies)... But they seem to be blooming rapidly. One could hypothesize through the use of some kind of mathematical model that if one continues to participate they will increase exponentially and eventually one will answer surveys with all of the time they would spend actually participating in open source software projects.
We should round these kids up and get them to maybe create a student survey information site. They could do it as their own opensource project and then collect the data they need from themselves ;-) -Andy On Wed, 2002-10-09 at 10:38, Gunes Koru wrote: > > Hello Jakarta contributors, > > I am conducting a survey about the way bugs are handled in open source > software projects.
