Improving Open Source Using Software Process Concepts?

Posted by Cliff on from the peer-review dept.

icanoop asks: "I'm working on a project to help improve open source development using mature software process concepts. What process issues do open source developers think are most important and/or can be improved? If you are interested in seeing what is being considered read the problem statement at the project site. It's not final so feel free to suggest changes."

    To have a more coordinated setup. I have lots of misgivings about just putting alpha code up on the web and claiming some victory.

    It chases off professionals interested in real projects. 'Oh I don't want to get involved with that, there are 30 projects like it on Sourceforge.....'

    Maybe my gripe it with how the opensource projects are handled.

    Vaporware that sits for 2 years is not a project.
