 Hello,

 I need to obtain approval from you and the people I interview within
 the project before I can continue.

Thanks for asking.
There is no one in a position to explicitely give or deny you the
permission to write a paper about The GIMP, though, so if the policy of
your research project requires explicit permission, you gotta change the
rules :)

Let's hope many people want to participate.


HTH,

I just need no one to dissent from me researching, so I will assume  
that no one has.

Basically I am looking to find out how an open source software  
community starts and the hierarchy it has created.  To that end I  
would like to interview the founders (which it is my understanding it  
will be hard to get ahold of them), a few higher level developers,  
and a few people who just dabble.  I want to see why people start  
them and contribute to them.  I will be writing up a set of questions  
that it would be great if a few people could answer.  I will send out  
a link to that in the near future.  Thanks to those of you who have  
shown interest, and to those of you who haven't replied to me yet, I  
would love to have your thoughts also, even if you don't have time to  
answer all of my questions.  I will make my findings available to all  
of you if you are interested in what my final paper is about.
