A Framework for Open Source Projects	Version: 2001 Submitted Date: 2006/9/12
Description: This paper aims to shed light on the hardly understood phenomenon of Open Source software development. Open Source has only gained widespread popularity as a term as recently as 1998, but is in fact far older. In the course of the appearance of Open Source in the public mind, many notions about its meaning have been formed, but few conclusions have been reached. Companies have been founded with great fanfare to exploit this new concept, and have since long gone bankrupt. Despite those business failures, Open Source is not a trend. It is here to stay. A casual Internet search reveals thousands of Open Source projects (OSP), with hundreds of thousands of participants. Academic knowledge of Open Source is in its very early stages, with few breakthrough papers to account for. Author: Gregor J. Rothfuss Keywords: Strenghts, Weaknesses, OSS, License, Traditional Development, Framework, Open Source

The author highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both traditional and open source development.
