Dear PIDA's developer, we are conducting a survey of tag usage into collaborative development environments, specifically Trac. Our aim is to clarify the state-of-the-practice of tagging, methods of implementation as well as prospects and problems within it.
As you are developing software within the PIDA project, we would like to kindly ask you to answer our questions below by replying to this e-mail message. The results of the inquiry will be treated confidentially and the analysis will be performed anonymously. If you wish we will send you the summary of the outcome of the survey complemented with related research results during Spring 2010. If you're interested in finding out more about the survey, we are more than pleased to answer your questions! Looking forward your contribution, your expertise and opinions are very valuable to us!
