Research on OS
From I ask questions
This is a
- personal research project
- to gather different info on OpenSource collaboration
- and therefore should not be taken as any kind of measure to assess any of the projects listed below.

observations so far
- direct contact with project members increases time to fix
time to fix/analyze an anomaly
This section shows how much time it needed to fix some bugs.
Please take into account:
- the time needed depends on various factors (risk of problem, budget of project, ...)
- this is a personal research project:
- data is only from 2011
- only those were added which were fixed or where the original report description was analyzed.
