http://www.sigte.udg.edu/jornadassiglibre2011/uploads/presentaciones/p37.pdf Could we guess some patterns? Lead users GRASS current leaders have grown internally in the project and have broad expertise in it. gvSIG development seems to be led by contract. No signs of external contributions and volunteer development are shown in the core. QGIS development seems to be led by a large volunteer and highly distributed base. It has aggregated around it 3 different generations of people. Signs of a hacker-friendly culture. Power users (not enough data) GRASS contributors seems to be slowly decreasing. gvSIG seems to have a stabilized contributors base. QGIS seems to have momentum as more and more people is participating the community. Casual users GRASS displays a slowly decreasing in general public. gvSIG has some advantage and leads the way. QGIS shows a slow and steady growing. _______________________________________________ Portugal mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/portugal
