摘要

大多数关于开源(OS)项目或产品的实证研究都是纵向的，通常涉及旗舰项目和成功项目。大量缺乏横向研究来阐明所有项目，包括失败的项目。本文提出了一项横向研究，旨在表征操作系统项目。我们从一个流行的操作系统项目库中分析了大约400个项目的样本。每个项目都有许多属性。我们静态地、随时间地分析这些属性。主要结果表明，很少有项目能够吸引有意义的开发人员社区。大多数项目都是由少数人(在许多情况下是一个人)以非常缓慢的发展速度完成的。

Characteristics of open source projects

Most empirical studies about Open Source (OS) projects or products are vertical and usually deal with the flagship, successful projects. There is a substantial lack of horizontal studies to shed light on the whole population of projects, including failures. This paper presents a horizontal study aimed at characterizing OS projects. We analyze a sample of around 400 projects from a popular OS project repository. Each project is characterized by a number of attributes. We analyze these attributes statically and over time. The main results show that few projects are capable of attracting a meaningful community of developers. The majority of projects is made by few (in many cases one) person with a very slow pace of evolution.
